A Hyattsville man sued the City of Annapolis and two city police officers in federal court Monday, claiming he was unlawfully detained, beaten and insulted with racial slurs by police officers in 2014.
Towhee A. Sparrow Jr. claims in a lawsuit filed in U.S. District Court in Baltimore that the incident has left him with lasting injuries and is part of a pattern of police abuse already the subject of three previous lawsuits dating back to 2008. He is seeking in excess of $75,000, the minimum threshold for a damage complaint to be filed in federal court.
Rhonda Wardlaw, city spokeswoman, said the city has not been served and has not seen the lawsuit. The Annapolis Police Department declined to comment on the pending litigation.
