Case 13-CV-1074

$10,000

ILLEGAL SEARCH/SEIZURE

Traffic stop Damage to property Illegal search/seizure False arrest or report Drug charges

Plaintiff: Michael Lee

Incident date: 02/09/2011

Location: 2 S. Hamlin Blvd.

Allegations:

Lee was driving down Hamlin Street when officers pulled him over and handcuffed him without justification. The officers then began an extensive and destructive search of Lee's car – tearing the leather console, removing the trim from the sun roof -- until they found a bag that belonged to the mother of Lee's child. The officers found a bottle of prescription pills inside the bag that were prescribed to her. Officers took Lee to a police station and charged him with possession of a controlled substance with intent to deliver. Lee spent several days in jail before he was able to post bond. Nearly two years later, the criminal case against Lee went to trial and the charges were dismissed.
