"[He] went through my golf clubs. He went through my truck," Tyler said about the incident.
Court documents say the officer claimed to have smelled alcohol during the traffic stop. Tyler's blood alcohol content was .147. The federal limit to legally drive is .08.
Tyler said he has "been a target for a while" and it's because of the fact that he is Black.
"Officers will use minor traffic offenses to pull somebody over, prolong the stop, and use it as a springboard to do intrusive searches looking for weapons or looking for drugs," said Gary Dickey, Tyler's attorney.
Local 5 spoke with Sgt. Paul Parizek with the Des Moines Police Department about what should happen at traffic stops. He said those pulled over should follow the officer's instructions and keep their hands visible.
