A 62-year-old financial planner from Marin, identified as a San Anselmo man with epilepsy, has filed a lawsuit against the Central Marin Police Authority, alleging police misconduct during a critical health crisis at his home. According to the lawsuit, the man was experiencing a grand mal seizure when officers, instead of providing the needed medical assistance, restrained and tased him. The officers are accused of justifying their use of force by subsequently arresting the man on several fabricated charges, including resisting arrest, assault on a police officer, and domestic violence. The incident, which has sparked outrage, was detailed in a series of reports highlighting the alleged abuse and the subsequent legal action taken by the victim. The man was reportedly discharged from the hospital to jail, dressed only in his paper hospital clothing and socks, before being released.
