From [HERE] A Monticello teen has filed a multimillion-dollar federal lawsuit against the village and four unnamed police officers, claiming he was arrested without cause, then roughed up by police. Santiago Acevedo Jr. filed on May 22 in the U.S. District Court Southern District.

The lawsuit claims police officers had no probable cause to arrest Acevedo, then 17, in February 2011, entered his home without first obtaining an arrest warrant, and violated his rights under the 4th Amendment from unlawful search and seizure and also excessive force. Acevedo has asked for a jury trial and is seeking $1 million in compensatory and $1 million in punitive damages. Acevedo filed a claim a year ago.

The complaint says the 5-foot-4-inch, 110-pound Acevedo was held for about 12 hours, while "one or more of the defendants "¦ struck him, battered him and pushed his face into a wall in such a manner as to cause serious injury to his mouth, teeth and face."
