Keith Anderson claimed he was harassed and unlawfully detained while walking to his mother's home in 2021.
WILLIAMSPORT-A Steelton man who said he was harassed, handcuffed and never charged has settled for $50,000 a federal civil suit against a Williamsport police officer.
The suit in U.S. Middle District Court stemmed from a July 14, 2021, incident on High Street in Williamsport as Anderson was walking on the sidewalk to his mother’s home.While walking on the sidewalk on the north side of High Street toward Elmira Street, Gardner in a marked cruiser pulled up alongside Anderson, matched his speed and attempted to engage in a dialogue.
Anderson asked why he was following him Gardner denied he was doing so. He again informed the officer he did not want to speak with him, said “have a nice day” and continued to walk toward his mother’s house. Anderson crossed the street and continued to record Gardner’s actions and assert his right to be free from unwarranted police intrusion.
Other officers arrived about the same time as did Anderson’s wife and mother who were threatened with arrest if they did not leave.
