A woman is suing the city of Layton
after a city cop not only falsely accused her of driving under the
influence, but also groped her during the arrest.The Standard-Examiner
reports that on July 25, Amanda Houghton was on her way to get her son’s
medication when she was rear-ended at a stop light. After checking that
the other driver was okay, she called 911 for police assistance.
Instead of getting medical help, the cops suspected Houghton of driving under the influence due to her “odd” behavior. Doctors later discovered she had a concussion from the car crash.Houghton was made to undergo a field sobriety test, which she failed, and was promptly arrested. After the officer handcuffed her, he then proceeded to pat her down for a body search all of which is seen on dashcam video released by the Layton Police Department.Houghton reacted angrily, claiming the cop was groping her breasts. She asked him to stop, but was told he was allowed to search her.
