Case 13-CV-4688

$18,000

ILLEGAL SEARCH/SEIZURE

Traffic stop Illegal search/seizure False arrest or report Other charges filed

Plaintiff: Michael O'Brien

Incident date: 04/19/2012

Allegations:

O'Brien was driving with friends when Officers Rak, Nutile and unidentified officers pulled them over. After stopping, the officers approached O'Brien's car and ordered everyone to get out. By this time, additional officers had arrived at the scene. O'Brien and his friends were handcuffed and moved away from the car while officers searched his car without permission. During the search, Rak removed a backpack from O'Brien's trunk and discovered a gun. The officers then completed a false arrest report, stating that O'Brien had been pulled over because he had failed to use a turn signal and did not possess a valid driver's license. O'Brien spent a night in jail. The charges were eventually dismissed.
