Black man suing the city of Galveston after police led him in handcuffs while riding horseback


Black man suing the city of Galveston after police led him in handcuffs while riding horseback


Donald Neely, 44, was led through Galveston, Texas by a police officer on horseback back in 2019.


Photos of the incident quickly gained national attention and now Neely is suing Galveston, Texas and it’s police department for more than $1 million


Neely was handcuffed and tied to officers on horseback as they led him down a street for an alleged trespassing offence.


Charges eventually were later dropped and the police department issued a public apology and promised to implement department changes and provide more training to officers.


Officers were seen leading Neely down the street with what appeared to be a rope tied to the handcuffs.
