Teen Arrest Alleges Excessive Force | Cleveland News

A 13-year-old boy is suing the city of Parma and three officers after a violent arrest at Walters Grove Park in August 2025, alleging excessive force that caused facial injuries and lasting trauma. Officers reportedly chased, tackled, and arrested him after he threw a stick at his mother’s car. At the station, he was allegedly shoved, carried by limbs, and slammed into walls — leading to scarring and severe emotional distress including PTSD. His mother filed suit claiming constitutional and state law violations. Juvenile charges were later dropped and records sealed; one officer was placed on paid leave as an investigation continues. City officials remain silent. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
