Vincent Bryant, who had previously been charged with multiple felonies in January, is now suing the city of Berkeley and the Berkeley Police Department on allegations of overall misconduct during his arrest. Bryant was taken into custody Jan. 2 after BPD officers received report of a robbery at 2190 Shattuck Ave. Bryant had threatened police officers with a chain, resulting in one officer discharging her firearm, according to a previous article from The Daily Californian. At the time of his arrest, Bryant was also on parole for prior convictions. According to court documents, Bryant had been charged with residential burglaries and grand theft auto.
