Federal Appeals Court Revives Lawsuit by Black Man Wrongfully Arrested

KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — A federal appeals court has revived a lawsuit filed by a Black Kansas City man who was wrongfully arrested when he was 15 and held for three weeks without charge.

The 8th Circuit Court of Appeals on Wednesday revived a lawsuit filed by Tyree Bell and his mother against the two officers who arrested Bell in June 2016.

They said they arrested him because he matched the description of a suspect who fled with a gun earlier that day.

Evidence showed Bell was taller, wore different clothing and had a different hairstyle than the suspect.
