SEATTLE, Wash. (AP) — A bicyclist is suing the city of Bellingham, saying he was arrested for trying to complain about a parking enforcement officer who blocked a bike lane.
David Morales said that two days after he rapped on a parking enforcement officer’s window to ask her not to park in the bike lane, he was arrested for intimidating a public servant.
The lawsuit says the 2017 arrest violated his right to be free from unreasonable seizure under the Fourth Amendment.
Morales filed the lawsuit in U.S. District Court in Seattle Monday.
