“There’s no evidence of that, what’s clear is he had stopped his vehicle and he had attempted to put his leg on to walk into the convenience store and there’s nothing else other than that,” Palmore said.

Lucas started recording the encounter on Facebook Live, which showed what happened next, once police started to become physically aggressive with him. The lawsuit filed claims an officer placed Lucas in a chokehold, then grabbed his arms and wrenched them. Once having his arms pulled to be handcuffed, he was shoved towards a police car and placed into the back seat.

“I thought I was going to die in this situation because I’m being choked out and I don’t know if anybody’s ever been choked out, but you go to sleep, and I just thought I was going to die and there was nothing I could do,” Lucas said.

The lawsuit accuses the officers of pulling on Lucas’ prosthetic leg and throwing it into the trunk of the police car, leaving the Lucas in serious pain.

“It was excruciating pain, when someone is trying to bend something that is connected to your body and when you’ve got your kneecap popping out at the same time, you’re not thinking about any at the time but the pain that you’re going through and that’s all I can remember thinking at the time is the excruciating pain,” Lucas said.

Lucas was charged with obstruction, resisting arrest and possession of his doctor-prescribed Oxycodone pain medicine. However, those charges were later dropped.

“Maybe an hour or so prior to all of this happening, so it was a brand-new prescription, it was dated and logged and it’s federal record every time you get a narcotic,” Lucas said.

After first going to jail, Lucas was taken to a hospital where he did not receive treatment according to his attorney.
