3 Lawsuits Target CdA Police

Item: Three lawsuits target CdA police: Wrongful arrest, assault among plaintiffs’ claims /Meghann M. Cuniff, SR

More Info: A man says he was wrongfully jailed for attempted rape for four months before the charge was dropped a day before trial because of lack of evidence. A woman claims police broke bones in her face when they forced her to the ground after mistaking her drunken stumbling for a threat. Officers had responded to her apartment on a report she’d been assaulted. Another woman says officers assaulted her at a hospital when she checked in after blacking out. Police suspected the man who drove her there was drunk. Those claims are detailed in three lawsuits filed against the Coeur d’Alene Police Department by a lawyer who said he sues law enforcement for a living

Question: Do these lawsuits shake your confidence in the Coeur d’Alene Police Department?
