Texas Cops Arrest Wrong Suspect After Admitting to Having the ‘Wrong Guy,’ Victim Now Suing

Silvester Hayes, now 27 years old, was shocked when Dallas police pulled him over while he drove to get his kids something to eat in October 2021. Body camera footage shows officers looking over his license and mistaking his name for a wanted domestic violence suspect due to the similar spellings of their first names. Following a violent arrest and multiple unwarranted consequences, Hayes is now seeking a jury trial, punitive damages, and attorney’s fees in a lawsuit pointing to two counts of excessive force and one count of unlawful arrest. The Law&Crime Network’s Sierra Gillespie breaks down the disturbing video.
