FALSE ARREST

Excessive force False arrest or report Physical force Gun

Plaintiff: Willie Tally

Incident date: 09/04/2011

Location: 7900 S. King Dr.

Allegations:

Tally was about to enter a fast-food restaurant near East 79th Street and South King Drive when Officer Howard blocked him and began to verbally harass him. Tally attempted to walk around Howard several times, but was not able to do so, since the officer continued to harass and assault him. Tally turned away from the restaurant and went back to his car to drive home. On his way home, Tally noticed that Howard was following him and bumped into his vehicle. Tally arrived at his home and approached the front door. As he did so, Officer Howard kicked the front door open, followed Tally inside and put a gun to his head, telling him that he was under arrest. Additional officers arrived, including Harris and Williams, who entered the residence, grabbed Tally and handcuffed him. He was placed inside a squad car and taken to a police station where he was held for several hours and received three traffic citations. The citations were eventually dismissed.
