Richard Wershe Jr. was imprisoned for cocaine trafficking in the late 1980s as a teenager.
While behind bars, he cooperated in an FBI sting by luring crooked Detroit and suburban cops to help assist in what they thought was a major drug operation.
He was released in 2017 , but he was sent to Florida to serve out a sentence for being involved in a car theft ring while in federal prison in the witness protection program.
A federal judge dismissed the lawsuits Monday citing the statute of limitations.
