Arrest Warrant issued for Hammond IN man
that has file federal lawsuit accusing police officers of excessive force.
HAMMOND, Ind. - A warrant was issued Thursday for the arrest of a man who filed a federal lawsuit earlier this week accusing Hammond, Ind. police officers of excessive force during a traffic stop in which officers broke a car window and deployed a stun gun on him, his lawyer says.
Dana Kurtz, who represents Jamal Jones, issued a statement Thursday saying the warrant "is clearly retaliation" against her client.
Kurtz says the warrant was issued for a misdemeanor marijuana charge seven years ago and that Jones "was unaware of the warrant but will comply with the law."
