FALSE ARREST
Damage to propertyExcessive forceFalse arrest or reportPhysical forceDrug chargesResisting or obstructing arrest charges
Plaintiff:
Kyle Kelly
Incident date:
01/16/2011
Location:
1323 W. 76th St.
Allegations:
Kelly was waiting in his vehicle as a friend entered her building in the Auburn Gresham neighborhood after driving her home. While he waited, Officers Cintron, Abdelmajeid and Jaber pulled up to Kelly's car in an unmarked squad car and placed the front bumper of their vehicle on the front bumper of his car. The officers shined a flashlight in Kelly's face while Kelly turned his high beam headlights on and off. The officers exited their squad car, broke Kelly's driver's side window, dragged him out of the car and threw him face down into the street. The officers then searched Kelly and his car, which they impounded. Kelly spent 18 hours in custody and was charged with resisting a peace officer, possession of marijuana and given traffic tickets. The charges were later dismissed.
