Jordan Creek Town Center faces civil rights lawsuit

State of play: Lindley visited the mall Feb. 19, 2021, with her service dog — an eight-pound chihuahua named Tinkerbell, according to the lawsuit.

• While sitting in the food court, Lindley was approached by a mall security guard, who allegedly asked her if Tinkerbell was a service animal. The guard proceeded to ask her what disability she had that required assistance, per the lawsuit.
• Lindley declined to share details about her disability, but handed the guard a card that states that Tinkerbell is a service dog and that she has PTSD.
• Lindley claimed she was still forced to leave and had to wait outside for the senior citizen transportation van for more than an hour in 30-degree weather.

Of note: Brookfield Properties, the mall's parent company, did not return messages seeking comment, the Register reports.

What's next: Jordan Creek Town Center is expected to respond to the lawsuit in court by Feb. 1, 2022.
