Statement
Deputy Lapointe was working a temporary roadblock when the victim and other cars approached and stopped at the corner to turn onto the road they lived on. Deputy Lapointe was partially blocking the road, but remained in his car, not controlling traffic as was his duty. The victim crept his car closer and closer to get the Deputy's attention and to respond and control traffic. Deputy Lapointe exited his car, argued and verbally abuse the victim, by telling him to “Get the hell out of here”. The victim responded by swiftly accelerating away from the corner. Deputy Lapointe responded by jumping in his patrol car, flooring the gas pedal, and screeching his wheels to pull over the victim. The deputy demanded the victim forfeit his constitutional right of privacy and provide his ID, falsely stating he failed to yield, drove fast, fishtailing (reckless), and screeched his tires. Deputy Lapointe would go on to complete false citations and refuse to call his supervisor, as requested by the victim numerous times.
