Michael Jennings is suing three officers and the central Alabama town of Childersburg for an unspecified amount of money.
BIRMINGHAM, Ala. --
Michael Jennings filed the lawsuit Friday night against three officers and the central Alabama town of Childersburg requesting a jury trial and seeking an unspecified amount of money. Jennings identified himself as "Pastor Jennings" but refused to provide identification to the officers, who arrested him on a charge of obstructing government operations after a 20-minute confrontation that included raised voices on both sides.
Benard Simelton, president of the Alabama branch of the NAACP, said the officers who arrested Jennings did "so many things" that weren't in line with good community policing tactics.
