While Felker was hanging out with friends in a garage, Officers De Gasso and Dasi showed up in response to a noise complaint. When the officers entered the garage, two people walked outside, dumped their beer on the ground, and left. Officer De Gasso told Felker and his remaining friends that they would be arrested if the two people did not come back. When Felker protested, De Gasso choked him and threw him into the garage door, splitting his cheek open. Dasi stood by and did nothing to stop De Gasso. Felker was taken to Little Company of Mary Hospital, where he got multiple stitches in his face. He was charged with battery against De Gasso, but was later found not guilty.
