Former officer Kyle Howe faced multiple allegations of excessive force during his tenure. In March 2023, he was involved in a traffic stop where he physically restrained a woman suspected of driving while barred, leading to public condemnation and his resignation during an internal investigation. Subsequently, five lawsuits were filed against him and the City of Toledo, alleging false arrest, assault, battery, negligent supervision, and civil rights violations. These incidents occurred between March 2022 and May 2024, with trials scheduled throughout 2025.
