STATEMENTS OF FACTS:
On the morning of Monday, March 17, 2025, at approximately 10:10 a.m., the Claimant, Eddie Parker, encountered significant difficulties while attempting to access his vehicle. The Claimant's car, which he uses for daily transportation, had unexpectedly become inoperable.
The key was not functioning properly, and after several unsuccessful attempts to unlock the doors, he determined that the vehicle's battery was dead. This created an additional complication because the battery was located in the trunk, which could not be accessed without first unlocking the main doors.
3 Faced with this problem, the Claimant decided to contact AAA for roadside assistance. While waiting for their arrival, he attempted to use a screwdriver to manually open the vehicle, as it was parked in a public area near his residence. His intent was solely to gain entry to his own property so he could address the battery issue.
While he was working on the vehicle, Rialto Police Officer Andrew Villasenor arrived at the location. According to Officer Villasenor, he had been dispatched after receiving a report of a possible car break-in in progress. Upon approaching, Officer Villasenor began questioning the Claimant about the vehicle, its ownership, and his actions. The Claimant explained that it was his car, described the mechanical problem, and noted that AAA was already on the way to assist him.
Shortly thereafter, a second officer, Officer K. Green, arrived as backup. Without providing the Claimant an opportunity to produce proof of ownership or further clarify the situation, Officer Green physically grabbed the Claimant by the legs and arm. Officer Villasenor simultaneously took hold of him from another side. The two officers forced the Claimant to the ground and placed him in handcuffs.
While the Claimant was restrained and seated near the door of a patrol car, a supervising sergeant arrived and began speaking with the officers. During this time, a passing neighbor recognized the Claimant and verbally confirmed to the officers that the vehicle belonged to him. Additionally, the Claimant's girlfriend came outside and reiterated the same information. Despite these witness statements, the officers informed the Claimant that he was under arrest for felony PC 69 (resisting or deterring an executive officer) Due to the force used during the arrest, the Claimant sustained injuries to his shoulder, neck, and knee. Emergency medical personnel transported him to a local hospital for evaluation.
He was diagnosed with a sprained shoulder and knee and referred for physical therapy to address ongoing neck pain.
Following medical treatment, the Claimant was booked into San Bernardino County Jail, where he was held for three days. His only prior criminal history consisted of a misdemeanor driving violation in 2015. The Claimant requested a trial, but the court dismissed the case on the same day it was filed.
The incident caused the Claimant physical pain, emotional distress, and financial inconvenience. He continues to receive therapy for his injuries and maintains that the arrest was unjustified, particularly given the corroborating witness accounts confirming his lawful presence and ownership of the vehicle.
