“The man’s sister, who works nearby, tried to advise officers that he was suffering from epilepsy and not under the influence of drugs, but the lawsuit says officers ignored her.  Lynn was booked into jail on charges of resisting arrest, public intoxication and a felony count of disarming a police officer.  Lynn’s lawyer wrote that he never knowingly tried to grab the officer’s Taser during the struggle, and the charges against Lynn were dismissed on Nov. 28, 2012.  His lawsuit alleges false arrest, assault, false imprisonment and excessive force by the IMPD officers.”
