Caron Nazario, an Army officer, said in a lawsuit that he was threatened, assaulted and falsely imprisoned during a 2020 traffic stop in which police officers pepper sprayed him and held him at gunpoint.
Caron Nazario, a second lieutenant in the Army, was driving his new SUV on Dec. 5, 2020, when he was pulled over for not having permanent license plates installed. As it was dark and he was on a major roadway, he slowed down and waited until he came across a brightly lit gas station, Nazario said in the lawsuit filed last year in U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Virginia.
Caron Nazario, who is Black and Latino, is suing two Virginia police officers who he claims violated his constitutional rights at a December 2020 traffic stop. They also threatened to end his military career if Nazario raised concerns over their conduct, according to the lawsuit. Tom Roberts, an attorney for Nazario, said the jury’s verdict, and the amount of damages it awarded to his client, were “adding insult to injury.” He said in a statement that it was “unlikely that the verdict will send a message to police officers, other than to let them know that this behavior will not result in any meaningful consequences.”
