Complaint:
complainant, submitted the following online complaint to the
Office of Police Oversight:
"I was pulled over on @ approximately . I was told to roll down
all windows. Throw the keys out the window and put my arm out of the window and open
the door. My driver side window is broken SO I could not follow that command. I was afraid
that I would be shot for non-compliance. I opened the door and got out and was told to
walk backwards toward his voice. I saw guns were drawn. I was searched and handcuffed.
I noticed multiple police vehicles. I was asked, where was I going. Where was I coming
from. I was put in the back of a squad car. I was told that there had been a call about shots
fired and that they were looking for a Gold SUV. I drive a Gold Mercedes Wagon which
IS NOT an SUV."
