The current University of Michigan student body president filed a lawsuit Friday saying a former assistant state attorney general stalked him and inflicted emotional distress last year by posting alleged defamatory statements on a blog as part of a “bizarre personal obsession” that included calling him a Nazi, Ku Klux Klan member and a “radical homosexual activist,” according to a lawsuit.

Chris Armstrong, the first openly gay student body president at U-M, filed the suit against Andrew Shirvell in Washtenaw County Circuit Court. He is asking for more than $25,000 in damages.

Shirvell was not immediately available for comment this morning. He was fired in December from the attorney general’s office for using public computers for his blog and for lying to the attorney general’s staff about that use, the office said in an investigative report.

“This guy has behaved so irresponsibly, especially for an attorney,” said Armstrong’s attorney, Deborah Gordon. “He’s a rebel without a cause.”
