CLEVELAND, Ohio — A Cleveland man accused Shaker Heights police of using a stun gun and releasing a police dog on him, even though he posed no threat to the officers. Don Baker, 55, filed the lawsuit in federal court in Cleveland against the police department and several officers over the Jan. 30, 2022, incident. It alleged excessive force and civil-rights violations. Baker said in the lawsuit, filed by attorney Sean Burke, that he never threatened the officers and had no weapons at the time of his arrest.
