Complaint
Description: On December 21, 2018, Officer Avent and others stormed Plaintiff Hayward's home, where she and Plaintiff Paige were, and arrested them at gunpoint without probable cause. Plaintiffs were transported to a precinct and held for hours before being sent to central booking and held longer. Officer Avent knowingly made false allegations against the plaintiffs and fabricated evidence for the DA's office. The charges against both plaintiffs were eventually dismissed. The city was aware of inadequate supervision over officer misconduct but failed to correct it.
