A northwest Indiana police department is facing a federal lawsuit after a family claimed an officer used excessive force on them during a dramatic traffic stop captured via cell phone video.
Lisa Mahone was driving, along with her boyfriend Jamal Jones and two children, to visit Mahone’s ill mother at Stroger Hospital on Sept. 24 when they were pulled over by Hammond, Indiana, officers for a seat belt violation, the Post-Tribune reports.
According to the lawsuit, officers pulled them over in a “highly aggressive” manner, placing spike strips in front of the car and asking for both Mahone’s driver’s license, as well as Jones’ identification.
