Man accuses police of assault, asks CPD to release body camera footage By Rachel Hirschheimer | February 4, 2021 at 2:48 PM EST - Updated February 5 at 8:25 AM
CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va. (WVIR) - A Black man says he was assaulted, harassed, and profiled by officers with the Charlottesville Police Department back in January.
LaQuinn Gilmore is now asking for the body camera footage to be released.
“They illegally abducted me, they held me against my will, they transported me from here to there against my will. I know my rights,” Gilmore said.
Gilmore says he had pulled his car over on Monticello Avenue on January 11 because he was feeling sick. That’s when Gilmore says an officer stopped and asked him if he was OK.
