Allegations:
Duprey, a 20-year-old African-American, was a passenger in a car stopped by Officers Sautkus and Campbell, who are white, in the district, where both officers live. During the stop, officers asked the driver, Duprey and the other passengers, "What are you monkeys doing around here?" The officers ordered everyone out of the car. Sautkus punched Duprey in the face and when Duprey asked why he he had been hit, Sautkus said the neighborhood belonged to him and Campbell and they could do whatever they wanted to. The officers arrested Duprey and another passenger and took them to the police station. Duprey was charged with resisting a police officer and disobeying a police order. The charges were later dismissed.
