Marcus Williams
Incident date:
03/24/2014
Location:
8029 S. Ashland Ave.
Allegations:
Williams was driving with his two cousins when the officers stopped behind him and demanded to search his vehicle. They handcuffed Williams and searched the vehicle without his consent. Officers Carter and Corral arrived while the car was being searched, and Carter began arguing with Williams. Carter struck Williams numerous times and tackled or threw him to the ground without justification. The officers charged Williams with aggravated battery to a peace officer, and Carter falsely reported that Williams had spat in his face and elbowed him in the stomach.
