Plaintiff:
Zsoch Dunn
Incident date:
07/24/2010
Allegations:
Dunn was driving with his girlfriend when Officers Hickey and Cereceres made a U-turn in a squad car and pulled him over. The officers approached him with their guns drawn. They used derogatory language, handcuffed Dunn and searched his car without permission. Dunn complained that the handcuffs were too tight. The officers did not loosen or adjust the cuffs until they removed them several minutes later. The officers placed Dunn in the squad car and told him that he was under arrest. There was no reason for the officers to arrest Dunn or to use excessive force during the arrest. The officers held Dunn for approximately 30 minutes before released him without charges.
