FALSE ARREST

Strip search Threats/intimidation Excessive force False arrest or report Physical force Other charges filed

Plaintiff: Clifton Marvel

Incident date: 06/23/2012

Allegations:

Marvel was sent to provide tow truck assistance for a rollover car accident. He saw Officer Gentile at the scene and told him he was there to help. During the conversation, Gentile became confrontational, swore at Marvel and ordered him to leave. Officer McHugh then walked up to the men, shouted profanities at Marvel, followed him back to his tow truck, pulled him out of it and handcuffed him. As Marvel sat in a squad car, McHugh searched his tow truck and personal belongings. Police took Marvel to a police station, where McHugh, Taiyoob and other officers strip-searched him in front of a female officer. McHugh and Gentile charged Marvel with resisting a peace officer. The charge was later dismissed.
