North Texas man files lawsuit against 2 Keller police officers after August arrest

A new lawsuit filed against the two officers says Keller police leadership called the use of force and arrest of Marco Puente “inappropriate.”

A North Texas man is suing two officers in the Keller Police Department following his arrest in August. Keller PD demoted Sergeant Blake Shimanek for his role in the incident.

The arrest occurred Aug. 15 when 22-year-old Dillon Puente was pulled over for making a wide right turn. Puente was on his way to his grandmother’s house when he was stopped in the Riverdance neighborhood.
