Jeffrey Carleton – West Haven Police Department

Written by CBKN76

In October 2016, Officer Jeffrey Carleton was sued by food truck vendor Carolina Roman, who alleged that Carleton approached her aggressively, demanded to see her vending permit, and questioned her citizenship status. The lawsuit claims Carleton grabbed her wrist, forced her down on the food-preparation table, and handcuffed her. The case sought a minimum of $1 million in damages. The outcome of the lawsuit is not specified in the available sources.
