A Black pastor in Alabama who was arrested while watering his neighbour’s garden has filed a lawsuit against three officers who detained him.
Michael Jennings, 56, also named the city of Childersburg in the federal lawsuit that alleges the incident in May caused him post-traumatic stress and anxiety. The suit also alleged the officers’ actions and the city violated Mr Jenning’s constitutional rights protecting against unlawful arrest and guaranteeing free speech.
