Miya ShayRecords show when the officers got on scene, they believed the drunk driver's side of the story. The criminal case was dismissed months later in 2019, but the damage to Good Samaritan's life was already done.A major rebuke of two Houston police officers' actions by one of the most conservative federal courts in the country.
It all started back in 2019, when Austin Hughes, a former police officer in Michigan, was working as an Uber driver and driving along the 610 W. Loop. Records show when the officers got on scene, they believed the drunk driver's side of the story. Eventually, they arrested Hughes and he was charged with a felony.He filed a civil case, represented by attorney Courtney Warren, which led to the extraordinary rebuke this month.
...when police officers arrived at the scene, they let the drunk driver go and then arrested Good Samaritan Hughes. Piling insanity on irrationality, the officers then charged Hughes with a felony for impersonating a peace officer. Hughes spent thousands of dollars defending against the frivolous criminal charges before the City of Houston dropped them. Then Hughes brought this suit against the two officers who victimized him. The district court denied qualified immunity. We affirm.
