The family says they were traumatized following their encounter with members of the Suffolk County Police Department.
A Long Island family announced plans to sue the Suffolk County Police Department, saying they were assaulted, restrained and terrorized by officers who were searching for a suspect in the shooting of an officer.
The family alleged that Warren Whyte was ordered down on the ground on his front lawn, kicked in his neck and handcuffed, and that Whyte's grandmother was held in a police car so long that she urinated on herself. The family said they've never had so much as a traffic ticket, and Whyte said he'd worked as a police officer on the island of Jamaica. Attorney Kenneth Mollins, representing the family, said the Whytes were told they were suspects in the shooting, and police wanted to know where the gun was.
