Colorado Springs Police officers handcuffed and pepper-sprayed a 17-year-old girl twice inside a patrol car after she refused orders to sit down and "calm down," a lawsuit filed against the officers Friday alleged.

The lawsuit, filed by Denver civil rights attorney David Lane, said the officers pepper-sprayed Amara Keens-Dumas on the forehead and in the eyes, then closed the door of a patrol car with Keens-Dumas inside.

"She was essentially imprisoned in a gas chamber with no escape," the lawsuit said.

The lawsuit filed in El Paso County District Court claims officers used excessive use of force in violation of the state constitution. It names the individual officers – not their department – and seeks unspecified damages.

A Colorado Springs Police Department spokesperson declined to answer questions about the incident Monday and said the department is "unable to provide a comment on pending litigation."
