In January 2018, multiple Salem police officers were involved in the arrest of Carmona-Perez outside a bar. During the arrest, officers struck Carmona-Perez multiple times on the head while he was on the ground. The incident led to a lawsuit alleging excessive force and lack of commands in Spanish, which Carmona-Perez did not recall receiving.
