Busted for Watching a Protest, Arizonan Says
By JAMIE ROSS

PHOENIX (CN) - In another lawsuit against Sheriff Joe Arpaio - the 118th since 2007 - a Phoenix man claims he was arrested and jailed on bogus charges for watching a protest of Arpaio's policies. Salvador Reza, an organizer for a civil rights group, claims that after Arpaio's deputies arrested him and locked him up for 14 hours, the Maricopa County prosecutor acknowledged he had been arrested without probable cause.

Reza, an organizer for the Arizona-based Puente Movement, says he was watching a protest on July 30 near the Lower Buckeye Jail in Phoenix when Arpaio's deputies "crossed the street to the west side of 35th Avenue and arrested Mr. Reza by forcing his hands behind his back, binding him in plastic handcuffs, and pushing him to a nearby 'paddy wagon' where he was imprisoned for approximately five hours."

Reza was then locked up in Maricopa County Jail for 9 hours, he says in his federal complaint.

He says he was imprisoned "without a warrant and without probable cause to believe that Mr. Reza had committed the crime that purportedly justified his arrest."
