Andrew Mathews wants vengeance against Livonia and its police department.
Now on probation because of a previous confrontation with officers, he has sued the city and Officers Faris Alhajar and Sam Tamer in U.S. District Court, demanding a jury trial and damages because of their original Feb. 29, 2020, conflict.
Mathews, 40, claims in a federal suit filed Feb. 18 that Alhajar had no reason to stop, search and question him as he walked to work that day and no reason for Tamer to then “gratuitously” punch him twice in the face, causing fractures, lost teeth and additional physical trauma.
He is suing on three counts – unlawful seizure, excessive force and municipal liability. Mathews could not be reached for further comment, and his attorney Matthew Kolodziejski did not respond to requests for comment.
