Schererville - A federal lawsuit alleges that police officers forged the results of a breath alcohol test and then forcibly penetrated a man's body with a catheter to extract his bodily fluids.
William B. Clark, 23, gave a disturbing account detailing official police misconduct and invasive, forced medical procedures.
Clark, of Crown Point, was pulled over on the evening of May 20, 2012, while driving on U.S. 30 near its intersection with U.S. 41, on suspicion of driving under the influence.
Schererville Police Officer Matthew Djukic initiated the traffic stop, and Officer Damian Murks responded in a separate vehicle. Mr. Clark was asked to perform a Breathalyzer test, which he did.
The suit alleges that the results of the breath test were falsely reported to create a pretext to arrest Clark. The legal limit in Indiana is 0.08 BAC, police claimed Clark's was 0.11 BAC. While on the scene, Officer Djukic searched the interior of Clark's car with a
canine, a process Clark says was done illegally.
Mr. Clark was then taken to the St. Margaret Mercy Hospital in nearby Dyer, Indiana. Clark submitted to a blood test, the lawsuit states, which showed that his BAC
only 0.073 - below the legal limit. The blood test is the most accurate method to measure blood-alcohol content.
Comment: Thus the need to prepare for economic disaster is important for everyone.
