Description

William McAuliffe and Jennifer Barlow were sued for using excessive force "in a fit of sudden and unprovoked rage" upon Elder Chacon, Brenda Samayoa, and their 12-year-old daughter, after a crash in the city on Aug. 7, 2019. Officer Douglas Peppel was also involved in the incident according to court records for Chacon, although he is not named in the court complaint.

According to the complaint: "'In a fit of sudden and unprovoked rage, Officer McAuliffe threw his clipboard on the ground and violently grabbed at Chacon’s person..' McAuliffe then allegedly pushed Samayoa out of the way, striking her in the face and pushing her into [daughter] Nathaly, who was standing next to her, as Samayoa fell to the ground...

"Officer McAuliffe continued attacking him and that instead of deescalating the situation, Officer Barlow used her taser on Chacon... At the time that Officer McAuliffe and Officer Barlow assaulted Mr. Chacon, he was not engaged in any activity suggesting that he posed a threat to officer safety or to any other person.”
