Meek Mill is taking the officers involved in his November detainment to court for false imprisonment.
Back
in November, it was revealed that Meek Mill was forced to miss his own
release party for his album Dreams and Nightmares after Philadelphia
police detained the emcee with no charges. Now, in a recent report from
HipHopWired, it looks like Meek is looking for a little compensation in
the matter.
Meek Mill, born Robert Williams, is apparently suing
police officers Andre Boyer and Michael Varga and the city of
Philadelphia over the nine-hour ordeal. He is suing for a litany of
charges, including false imprisonment, civil rights violations, civil
conspiracy and invasion of privacy.
The Maybach Music Group rhymer is seeking punative damages in the case.
"On
October 31, 2012, at approximately 7:30 p.m., plaintiff was driving a
Range Rover SUV when Philadelphia Police Officers Andre Boyer and
Michael Vargas, without cause or justification, conducted a motor
vehicle stop," the complaint reads. "Following the vehicle stop, police
officers Boyer and Vargas handcuffed plaintiff at the scene, transported
him in custody to the 22nd Police District, took photographs of
plaintiff which the officers posted and published...on Instagram and
other social media websites, depicting plaintiff in police
custody...without being charged with any criminal activity and having
caused plaintiff to miss a scheduled promotional appearance in Atlanta,
Georgia."
