Cyclist Sues for Unlawful Arrest
A black Portland man stopped
and arrested by Portland police
while bicycling home from his
job at New Seasons Market two
years ago has filed a lawsuit
against the city.
Anthony James Allen Jr. 23,
said he was peddling with two
bags of groceries on his bike a
few doors away from his resi-
dence where he encountered a
police lined perimeter and was
told by officers the area wasn’t
safe and to go home quickly.
He said another police officer,
Colby Marrs, appeared suddenly Anthony James Allen Jr.
out of the shadows and knocked
him to the ground, pressed his
knee into his neck and shoulders,
and handcuffed him. According
to the suit filed May 17, the pe-
rimeter had already been lifted.
