The lawsuit, filed on Friday, states Carter was en route to his father’s home on December 30, 2020 when officers started trailing behind him, according to NBC News. Stockton police allege Carter was driving “erratically and speeding in excess of 100 mph.” Carter, 17, claims he was unaware that police were trailing behind him and attempting to pull him over.
The police department says the teen turned off his headlights and led them on a three-minute pursuit. The lawsuit alleges Carter finally stopped at some point, and he waited in his car with his hands visible. That’s when, according to Carter, he was allegedly pulled from his vehicle and slammed to the ground. The teen sustained bruises to both of his eyes, and scratches were found on his face and back.�
