Civil Rights Violation Lawsuit

February 8, 2024

I have an active Civil Rights Violation Lawsuit for criminal behavior demonstrated by the Coral Gables Police Department. On February 8, 2024, I filed a civil rights lawsuit against Coral Gables Police Department (CGPD) and two police officers for a 2020 reported noise complaint—a civil matter (my playing music before noise ordinance took effect that night).

The incident left me a bloody and battered mess on March 24, 2020, the night my home was invaded, without warrant or reason, and I was viciously beaten by officers from the CGPD Crime Syndicate, requiring an emergency visit to Jackson Memorial Hospital where I received sutures and was arrested on trumped-up allegations.

The CGPD obtained a warrant to confiscate my GoPro camera and memory card footage, and then caused the memory card to go "missing." Leading the Court to believe that they had obtained my GoPro without a memory card in it. We recently received the proverbial nail in the coffin piece of evidence that the CGPD Crime Syndicate, in fact, downloaded the memory card footage. They downloaded my evidence against them and made both go "missing."

Halfway through a Stand Your Ground Hearing, the case was abandoned—i.e., nolle prossed—by state prosecutors. The arrest affidavit allegations have been completely debunked, proven false.

To date, Police Chief Edward Hudak has refused to have the CGPD conduct a formal investigation into this incident. Furthermore, he has denied my repeated requests that an outside law enforcement agency investigate this criminal behavior against me.

I am not going at this Mayoral Candidacy with a chip on my shoulder. Rather, my attempt is to stop this from happening to others. Important to note, I do not believe that all CGPD Officers are part of this Crime Syndicate within the Coral Gables Police Department. Approximately 2 minutes into the dispatch audio, you can hear me being beaten in my laundry room.
