The mass shooting suspect accused of a deadly attack on a North Carolina restaurant alleged in an "unbelievable" lawsuit filed earlier this year that country music singer Kellie Pickler tried to poison him.
Legal documents obtained by Complex show that in February, Nigel Edge accused Pickler of trying to poison him when they attended the CMT Music Awards together in 2012. In the documents, he claims that she gave him a poisoned glass full of Jim Beam whiskey and that he’s only still breathing because he didn’t drink it.
The judge in the case wrote that "Plaintiffs factual allegations are so delusional that they are simply unbelievable.”
Edge, who filed to change his name from Sean DeBevoise earlier this year, is the prime suspect in a targeted attack on the American Fish Company restaurant in Southport Yacht Basin, North Carolina.
Armed with a short barrel AR rifle, equipped with a suppressor, folding stock and scope, Edge allegedly sprayed bullets indiscriminately into a crowd of unsuspecting patrons. Three people were killed and eight others were injured.
Edge faces three counts of first-degree murder, five counts of attempted first-degree murder and five counts of assault with a deadly weapon. A motive for the shooting has yet to be determined.
Edge’s lawsuit against Pickler isn’t the only bizarre one that he’s filed recently. In one filed in April, Edge alleged that the U.S. government, police, and military were a part of a conspiracy linked to Jeffrey Epstein, the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001, and the Abu Ghraib scandal. He alleged that he was human-trafficked, used as a drug mule, and tortured in Iraq as a “ghost detainee.”
In another lawsuit filed in May, Edge claimed that the Generations Church in Southport was behind a conspiracy that was masterminded by the LGBTQ community and white supremacists who were pedophiles to kill him because he’s heterosexual.
Back in January, Edge filed a similar suit against the Brunswick Medical Center, alleging that it was a conspiracy that was launched by “LGBTQ White Supremacists" who wanted to kill him because he survived their attack in Iraq.
Edge’s January and May lawsuits were dismissed with prejudice.
He’s currently being held at the Brunswick County Detention Center without bond.
