USA: In prison because he had the same name as the wanted man - Only he is black and the wanted man is white

An incredible Golgotha ​​was experienced by a black man because the police confused him with a white wanted man and arrested him. They just had the same name.

When the white Shane Brown committed the offense for which he is wanted, the black Shane Brown was not even born. And yet this also happened. The police arrested him because he had the same name as the wanted man and imprisoned him.

Shane Brown, 25, was in a parking lot in Clark County, Las Vegas, USA, when a patrol car approached him and asked for his license. Shane refused and the police brought him in.

In the department, police computers showed that a Shane Brown has been wanted for years now for a felony but also for possession of a firearm. The police believed that they had caught a "seabass" and the apprehension was an arrest.

Black Shane Brown was taken to the county detention center. He tried in vain to explain that he had never been convicted of any crime and that he had never possessed a weapon.

He asks for $ 500.000

He spent six days and nights in the detention center, and when it came time to discuss the issue of his bail, Shane broke out in court. He told them that they were holding the wrong person and that for the crime they were accusing him of, which took place in 6, he had not been born.

The judge was convinced and asked for a more detailed examination of his file. It turned out that the black Sail Brown had nothing to do with the Shane Brown that the police are looking for.

He is white, taller, with brown hair and blue eyes. The 25-year-old did not let it go like that. He has already filed a lawsuit with the police department and the detention center and is seeking $ 500.000 in damages.
