Plaintiff:
Farley Shumpert
Incident date:
04/09/2009
Location:
8038 S. Muskegon Ave.
Allegations:
Shumpert was asleep at home when Officers Robinson and Landon came to the door to “report the arrest of juveniles.” The officers asked Shumpert for identification, and Shumpert, who was under no obligation to show ID, refused. When Shumpert tried to close the door, one of the officers blocked the door open. Shumpert went to call 911, but the officers pushed their way into the home and began searching it, without a warrant or probable cause. The officers arrested Shumpert, but he was later acquitted of all charges.
