A 10-year-old disabled boy was put in a chokehold by a Louisiana sheriff’s deputy last year, according to a federal lawsuit filed by the child’s parents.
Antonio Planas
Like the sheriff's office, the Jefferson Parish School Board is also named as a defendant in the suit filed Monday in U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Louisiana. Because of his disabilities, the fifth grader was on an individualized education plan, the suit said. Instead, Sgt. Steven Trapani, grabbed the 95-pound child by the arm and pulled it behind his back. The boy was 4-feet-5-inches tall during the alleged incident, the suit said.The child was dragged on the ground while still in the chokehold, the suit said, causing him to be “fearful for his life."The American Civil Liberties Union of Louisiana and the Tulane’s Civil Rights and Federal Practice Clinic are representing the child’s parents in the lawsuit.
