A pair of lawsuits filed Friday in St. Louis Circuit Court allege a St. Louis police officer abused citizens, including the owner of Bar:PM in December 2023.
The most recent incident happened on Dec. 18 at Bar:PM, a well-known gay bar on South Broadway, after a police SUV crashed into the building’s facade.
After conflicting reports, police said another officer was driving was distracted while using his police radio. Surveillance video shows a police SUV driving at high speed and running stop lights before losing control and crashing into the building.
Now, five months later, the legal matters are coming to light.
At a news conference, attorney Javad Khazaeli spoke about two lawsuits moving forward concurrently.
