Galveston, Texas
A Galveston man claims he was assaulted by a police officer during an arrest and seeks $1 million from the city.
In a lawsuit filed March 30 in Galveston County District Court, Nicholas Cruz claims a Galveston police officer beat him just before he was taken into custody for allegedly creating loud noise on March 21, 2010.
Cruz states he was given a citation by an officer when another officer arrived on the scene 30 minutes later and threw him to the ground, the original petition says.
He alleges the officer struck him several times in the abdomen and then arrested him. He claims additional officers came and witnessed the assault.
Police arrested another man for interfering with Cruz's arrest and the homeowner for also violating the city's noise ordinance.
