Denver Cops Arrest Driver For Refusing Search Of His Car

The Denver Police Department is facing a lawsuit claiming an unnecessary use of force, illegal search of a vehicle and unlawful arrest following a car crash in April 2020.
Keilon Hill, 27, called 911 after a minor crash on Interstate 25 occurred on April 27, 2020. The lawsuit claims Officer Thomas Ludwig glanced into Hill’s car but proceeded to interview the other driver and passenger first.
When Hill asked Ludwig why he was searching his car and that he didn’t have a warrant, Ludwig told him he smelled mary jane in his car. Hill told Ludwig it was “not okay for you to search my car.”
Then Ludwig and Yampolsky grab Hill and pushing him against the hood of his car. The officers handcuffed Hill and the lawsuit says they “used substantial force when effectuating the arrest.”
