(Cleveland) - A man arrested in Downtown Cleveland while the area was under a curfew due to rioting and looting in May, has sued the city for violating his Constitutional rights.
During the downtown curfew, only residents were allowed to move in and out of the area. Mehdi Mollahasani says he was walking to meet an Instacart driver who was not allowed into downtown, when he was stopped by Cleveland Police. His drivers license was from New York, but he carried with him a pay stub with an East 9th Street address, and his digital grocery receipt on his phone.
