Plaintiff:
David L Purnell
Incident date:
01/01/2014
Location:
254 W. 106th Pl
Allegations:
Purnell was visiting a residence when the officers forcibly entered. The officers searched the residence after seizing Purnell and the other individuals inside, and discovered a shotgun in the bedroom and a handgun in a kitchen cabinet. Although he did not live at the residence, Purnell was charged with reckless discharge of a firearm. Purnell requested a gunshot residue test to dispute the officers' claims, but they ignored him and falsely reported that he fired a gun into the air. Purnell was found not guilty 11 months later.
