Charles Lentner – Oro Valley Police Department

Written by CBKN76

In 1986, Officer Charles Lentner was involved in an incident where he physically removed a woman from her vehicle during a traffic stop, leading to allegations of assault, battery, excessive use of force, and civil rights violations. The woman filed a civil suit against Lentner, the Oro Valley Police Department, and the Town of Oro Valley, resulting in a $75,000 judgment in her favor. The case raised questions about the use of force and proper procedures during traffic stops within the department.
