Allegations:
Brown was leaving a friend's apartment as police were responding to a report of a burglary-in-progress at a storefront in the same building. Officer Schwandt arrested Brown, planted a doorknob on him and falsely reported that he saw tools in his hand. Brown was convicted of burglary based on police testimony and was sentenced to six years in prison. Schwandt later retracted the statement, and Officer Yi, who also responded to the burglary-in-process call, falsely testified that he inventoried stolen doorknobs found on Brown. Nearly five years later, Brown's conviction was reversed.
