SOUTHFIELD, MICH. -- A $20 million lawsuit has been filed against the Southfield Police Department for brutally beating Clint Willis, a 27-year-old African American man, entrusted with his care while in custody and causing critical injuries.
Attorneys Michael Fortner, Caroletta Sprinkle, Randall Upshaw, and Stephanie Carson will hold a press conference on Sunday, May 14, 2023, at 4:00 p.m., at the Southfield Police Station, located at, 26000 Evergreen Rd, Southfield MI. 48076 to disclose details about the case.
His mother says that the only gift she wants to receive on Mother’s Day is the gift of justice for her son.
Southfield police were called to a residence on April 5 around 8 a.m. to assist Willis who was having a mental health crisis. He was restrained and taken into police custody.
The man was able to walk into the police station without assistance. He was carried out on a stretcher and rushed to Providence Hospital a few hours later. The victim’s neck was broken during the attack, prompting a need for emergency surgery.
Wills is paralyzed from the neck down and is currently being treated in a rehabilitation center.
The family is demanding a complete and thorough investigation by an outside agency and criminal prosecution of all officers involved.
