Civil SuitWrongful Arrest
Boston Jake Sues City and 2 BPD Officers for Civil Rights Violation
A veteran Boston firefighter filed a lawsuit December 9, 2009 against the City of Boston and two of its police officers, after he was acquitted by a Roxbury Municipal Court jury of charges of resisting arrest and assaulting Boston police officers.
Firefighter Wayne Abron, a 19 year veteran, alleges that the officers used excessive force when they responded to his home for a domestic dispute, falsely arrested him, and charged him on Easter weekend, 2008. He suffered facial injuries and permanent injuries to his shoulder as a result of incident. Abron filed a civil rights suit against Officer Brian Dunford, Officer David Santosuosso and the city of Boston.
There’s been a lot written on both sides of the case. Take a look.
