When asked why he is suing for $25 million, the man said he wanted to make a statement to the city and police.
How did something so small and mundane as a minor fender bender wind up landing a wife and husband in handcuffs? The couple is taking League City police to court for their trouble.A man is suing League City after he says police officers wrongfully arrested and jailed him and his wife more than three weeks ago.
He also vowed to use any proceeds that came from this case to form an advocacy fund, which would help pay legal fees for people who felt mistreated by law enforcement. However, according to probable cause statements, the driver called the police after she left and claimed Rachael Hall was at fault. He alleged she did not want to share her information and left the scene. Using a photo the driver took of Rachael Hall's license plate, a League City police officer located her address and went to her house later that night to request her information.
The officer wrote in the probable cause statement, "It is state law to provide information to the involved parties if they are involved in an accident with damage." More than two weeks later, on Sept. 18, two League City police officers conducted a warrant at the Halls' residence and arrested Randal for "interference with public duties." Rachael was also arrested for "failing to provide information required in an accident involving damage to a vehicle."
The Galveston County District Attorney's Office ultimately declined to prosecute Randal Hall, citing "state elects to proceed on companion case." Randal Hall's attorney, Randall Kallinen, believes his client's charge was unreasonable.
