Officer (Name Withheld) – Arlington Police Department

Written by CBKN76

In August 2019, five Arlington County police officers were involved in the forceful detention of a mentally ill man, Delgardo Franklin, who was sitting alone in a bus shelter. The officers tackled and arrested Franklin, leading to a lawsuit alleging wrongful arrest, excessive force, false imprisonment, malicious prosecution, and emotional distress. The case is pending in federal court. ([washingtonpost.com](https://www.washingtonpost.com/dc-md-va/2023/07/25/video-officers-tackle-mentally-ill-man/?utm_source=openai))”
