Editor's Note: An attorney for Dr. Glenn Meyers has provided the News Sentinel with documentation showing that a later-filed charge was dismissed and the record of the case has been expunged by court order. The News Sentinel confirmed that there no longer are public records of the case.

A progressive political organizer claims she was assaulted by a Humana healthcare executive as she tried to record him on her phone outside a private event for Republican U.S. Senate candidate Marsha Blackburn on Market Square.

Sarah Herron, founder of Indivisible East Tennessee, told authorities she was among a small group of protesters gathered outside the Blackburn meet-and-greet at Cafe 4 on Saturday morning when an attendee, Dr. Glenn Meyers, forcefully snatched her phone out of her hand, according to a Knoxville Police Department incident report.

In a video clip of the incident, Meyers appears to be having a civil conversation with the protesters until he realizes he's being recorded and then immediately reaches for the phone.

The brief footage was posted to Facebook by former state Rep. Gloria Johnson, who also was among the protesters.

Other protesters were able to retrieve Herron's phone from Meyers, who left before officers arrived, according to the incident report.

According to his Facebook page, Meyers is the mid-South regional medical director for Humana.

Herron did not require medical treatment, the report states. According to a separate Facebook post by Johnson, Herron later was treated by a physician for a dislocated thumb and ligament damage to her right hand.

Herron did not return calls for comment Monday and Tuesday. Her attorney, Dennis Francis, told the USA TODAY NETWORK-Tennessee she intends to seek criminal charges.

A KPD spokesman said no warrants had been filed in the case as of Tuesday morning.

"The video is what it is," Meyers' attorney, Rachel Bonano, said Tuesday. "It's a public space, we don't dispute that. There's not an expectation of privacy out there.

"(But) I do believe that Ms. Herron's claims are quite exaggerated, especially in regard to her alleged injuries."
