Black teen who was riding in car with his grandmother was handcuffed after robbery report

MILWAUKEE – A young black man on his way home from church with his white grandmother was handcuffed by police in Wisconsin because two passersby thought he was robbing her.

Now an attorney representing him said she suspects he was harassed.

Attorney Joy Bertrand said she has requested all documents from the Wauwatosa Police Department about the stop and the basis for the stop. The attorney also stated she has sent a document-preservation demand telling police not to destroy anything and to include any notes, text messages and dispatch reports.

"After we take a look at whatever basis they have for stopping and harassing this family, we will be able to comment further," Bertrand said.
