US Attorney Bianca Forde Sues Cops for Wrongful Arrest in NYC
“A federal prosecutor was wrongfully arrested when cops slapped the cuffs on her for advising her boyfriend of his legal rights during a drunk-driving stop, a new lawsuit alleges,” reports Priscilla DeGregory in the New York Post’s Metro.
“Assistant US Attorney Bianca Forde was arrested on Nov. 30 when her boyfriend Joseph Paul got pulled over for suspected drunk driving in Midtown Manhattan and was asked to take a Breathalyzer test, according to a Manhattan civil suit filed against officers Fidel Hernandez, Christophe Williams and Weigand, whose first name was not included in the suit.”
“Forde, the passenger, allegedly said at the time ‘I’m a US attorney. I’m his attorney — he doesn’t have to blow.'”
“Paul did anyhow and passed the breath test and wasn’t arrested.”
