FALSE ARREST

Traffic stop On duty Forced confession Excessive force Legal access denied Racial epithets False arrest or report Physical force Gun Other charges filed

Plaintiff: Rodney Jones

Incident date: 07/04/2012

Location: 2010 W. 77th St.

Allegations:

Jones was driving in the Auburn Gresham neighborhood when Officers Reyes and Mueller pulled him over. The officers claimed they stopped him for not having valid registration for his vehicle. Although the registration was clearly visible and Jones provided the proper documentation, the officers pulled him out of the car with weapons drawn and arrested him anyway. Jones was called a “nigger” during the encounter. Officers charged Jones with felony aggravated driving with a revoked license. Jones' vehicle was impounded; at the police station, his attempts to point out the unlawful conduct were mocked and ignored. The charges were later dismissed.
