Man says officers roughed him up during arrest, breaking leg
KALAMAZOO, Mich. (AP) — A man says Kalamazoo police officers roughed him up during a 2014 arrest, breaking his leg and refusing to take him to a hospital for treatment.
The Kalamazoo Gazette reports that a lawsuit in U.S. District Court in Grand Rapids says police violated Earnest Lanier's constitutional rights. Lanier and his attorney, Michael A. Roth, are seeking more than $25,000 in damages.
The lawsuit stems from Lanier's June 17, 2014 arrest.
Attorneys for the city of Kalamazoo, the Kalamazoo Department of Public Safety and two officers say the allegations are meritless. Assistant City Attorney Richard O. Cherry says the officers didn't use excessive force when arresting Lanier for alleged domestic violence.
Attorneys for Kalamazoo County and the sheriff's department also deny that Lanier's constitutional rights were violated.

Jury rules against ex-Tigers pitcher Denny McLain in suit
HOWELL, Mich. (AP) — A jury has ruled against former Detroit Tigers pitcher Denny McLain in a breach-of-contract lawsuit.
The Livingston County Daily Press & Argus of Howell reports a Livingston County District Court jury found Wednesday in favor of Joe Dobson, who sued McLain for $1,910.
Dobson initially filed his lawsuit in Livingston County's small-claims court, saying McLain owed him for unpaid wages for a sales job from October to November. McLain countersued seeking more than $25,000, which moved the case to Circuit Court.
McLain said Dobson, who assisted McLain with marketing and sales at trade shows, interfered with McLain's business relationships.
Judge Theresa Brennan dismissed McLain's counterclaims.
McLain won the 1968 American League Most Valuable Player and Cy Young awards after winning 31 games and leading Detroit to the World Series.
