As so many cops have done in the past, San Francisco County deputy Michael R. Lewelling violently arrested a citizen for no apparent reason, justifying it by conjuring lies on the arrest report. The difference here was not only were his actions captured on a surveillance video, but that prosecutors decided to use that footage to charge Lewelling with four felonies. And only after they obtained the surveillance footage to make a determination whether to charge the man Lewelling had arrested, which is, in itself, a rare act as prosecutors generally just take police reports as gospel before proceeding with prosecution. According to the Sacramento Bee: Court records show Lewelling, 33, filed a police report alleging that the victim attempted to assault him with a wooden cane at San Francisco General Hospital.ABC7 reports that Lewelling bailed himself out on a $138,000 bond after spending two hours in jail where he was guarded by fellow deputies. |
