LAWSUIT FILED AGAINST CITY OF OAK RIDGE REGARDING POLICE ARREST
A $1 million lawsuit has been filed by Carlos Williams against the City of Oak Ridge regarding a police arrest. Williams alleges excessive force was used after law enforcement responded to his home following a 911 call for medical help. His wife told authorities Williams suffered a seizure but instead police administered a sobriety test stating Williams was acting confused and refusing medical care. The suit claims excessive force was used to stop and arrest Williams after he refused to be cuffed.
