Nashville real estate developer David Chase has filed suit against Metro government and its police department, the Business Journal reports. In the complaint, Chase claims police violated his civil rights, failed to follow proper procedure, used excessive force and subjected him to false arrest. He also alleges that his former girlfriend was friends with at least one of the officers who arrested him. Chase’s arrest made news when reports surfaced that a judge waived the required 12-hour cooling off period, which allowed Chase to leave the county jail and allegedly assault the woman a second time.
