Justin and Kristyn Seeley say two New Orleans police officers punched and kicked them, threw them into a brick wall and ultimately arrested them on false charges all because they didn’t like the way Justin laughed.
The officers in question, Sgt. Raymond Genovese and Officer Keith Ambrose, claim the Seeleys were highly intoxicated, aggressive and that Justin Seeley slapped Ambrose on the buttocks.
The Seeleys, in town for the Microsoft TechEd conference June 7-10, found themselves sitting in Orleans Parish Prison for nearly 15 hours, covered in bruises and abrasions, facing various charges including public drunkenness, resisting arrest and battery on an officer.
“They slammed my head into a brick wall for nothing. Every time we turn around we see another bruise,” said Kristyn Seeley, who has no criminal background.
Justin Seeley, who has one prior arrest for driving under the influence, said they will never come back to New Orleans.
“We’re telling everyone we know, trying to post everything we can everywhere to spread the word about what’s going on in this city,” he said, “because it’s not right what happened to us. It kills your faith in society.”
All charges against the Seeleys were dismissed two days after the incident, though the couple was forced to forfeit their $1,030 bond.
The Seeleys plan to file a civil lawsuit against the NOPD.
