FACTUAL BACKGROUND
XV.

On or about the 21st day of May, 2014, Defendants Hathorn and Maxfield
responded to a police dispatch call at Legends in Weiser, Idaho. Defendants found
Ms. Kinkade outside of the business, and, after an initial investigation, Ms.
Kinkade was asked by Defendant Hathorn to leave the location. Ms. Kinkade
made statements that she would be leaving and asked Defendant Hathorn that
since she was leaving, she could say fuck you to him and there was nothing he
could do. After making another statement of fuck you to the officer and a
gesture, Defendant Hathorn grabbed Ms. Kinkade by the throat and choked her.

XVI. While choking, Ms. Kinkade struggled to break the grasp on her throat.
Defendant Hathorn released Ms. Kinkade who again stated fuck you and tried
to push him away from her, Defendant Hathorn then rushed Ms. Kinkade, threw
his right arm around her neck, and then slammed her to the concrete sidewalk
landing with his full weight on top of her.
XVII. Without cause, Defendant Hathorn then arrested Ms. Kinkade and placed her in
handcuffs, and walked and dragged her to a patrol car. Ms. Kinkade did not have
shoes on. Defendants directed her to the patrol car about one-half block away by
pulling up on her panties and half carrying her to the vehicle.
XVIII. Defendant Hathorn and Maxfield attempted to put Ms. Kinkade in the patrol
vehicle and pat her down, when Ms. Kinkade stated that she was not going to

AMENDED CIVIL RIGHTS COMPLAINT, Page | 5

Case 1:16-cv-00194-CWD Document 4 Filed 05/16/16 Page 6 of 12

comply, Defendant Hathorn threw her face down into the concrete and frisked
her. Defendant Hathorn, spread her legs apart and frisked her while she was face
down on the ground, during this assault placed his knee in her back, rolled her
around. She sustained cuts, scrapes and bruises.
XIX. Defendant Hathorn and Maxfield then forced Ms. Kinkade into the patrol vehicle
and Defendant Maxfield drove her to the Weiser Police Department and parked in
the Sally Port.
XX.

Ms. Kinkade requested a different officers take her out of the patrol vehicle. Ms.
Kinkade made multiple requests while inside the vehicle to have a different
officer assist her.

XXI. After Ms. Kinkades repeated requests for a different officer, Defendant Hathorn
grabbed Ms. Kinkade by her hair to pull her out of the vehicle while Defendant
Maxfield began pushing her out of the vehicle. Defendant Hathorn pulled Ms.
Kinkade out of the back seat of the patrol car, handcuffed, by the hair and head,
and dropped her face first onto the concrete floor. Ms. Kinkade was knocked
unconscious.
XXII. Ms. Kinkade was violently picked up and drug to the jail, placed in a chair with
restraints, then strapped down, and booked into the jail before any of her wounds
were reviewed or treated.
FIRST CLAIM FOR RELIEF: Excessive Force
42 U.S.C. 1983 and/or Bivens cause of action:
Violation of the 4th and 14th Amendments against Defendants
XXIII. Ms. Kinkade incorporates by reference paragraphs I-XX as though fully set forth
herein.
XXIV. Ms. Kinkade is entitled to be free from unlawful search and seizure of her person
AMENDED CIVIL RIGHTS COMPLAINT, Page | 6

Case 1:16-cv-00194-CWD Document 4 Filed 05/16/16 Page 7 of 12

pursuant to the parameters of the 4th and 14th Amendments to the United States
Constitution. Ms. Kinkade is entitled to be safe and secure from under and
unreasonable force when being seized by law enforcement.
XXV. The acts and omissions of Defendants in using extreme and unwarranted force on
Ms. Kinkade when conducting an unlawful arrest, including, but are not limited
to, choking her, throwing her to the ground on multiple occasions, and dropping
her face first onto a concrete floor without any way of cushioning her fall. These
actions, individually and collectively violated Ms. Kinkades protected rights,
were an excessive seizure of her person, were objectively unreasonable based
upon the totality of the circumstances and amounted to deliberate indifference to
Ms. Kinakdes protected rights. Defendants violated the requirements of the 4th
and 14th Amendments to the United States Constitution held by Ms. Kinkade to
the integrity of her person to be free from excessive and unconstitutional use of
force.
XXVI. The specific actions of Defendants, individually and in concert with each other
alleged to be a violation of Ms. Kinkades protected rights are more specifically
set forth below:
a.

Defendant Hathorn used excessive force when reaching out and choking
Ms. Kinkade with his hand.

b.

Defendant Hathorn and Maxfield used excessive force when Defendant


Hathorn grabbed Ms. Kinakde around the throat and neck and threw her
onto the concrete road.

c.

Defendant Hathorn and Maxfield used extreme and excessive force when

AMENDED CIVIL RIGHTS COMPLAINT, Page | 7

Case 1:16-cv-00194-CWD Document 4 Filed 05/16/16 Page 8 of 12

Defendant Hathorn threw Ms. Kinkade to the ground handcuffed to


conduct a pat down search.
d.

Defendant Hathorn and Maxfield used extreme and excessive force when
they pulled and pushed Ms. Kinkade out of the back seat of the patrol car
and dropped her face down onto the concrete floor without any means of
breaking her fall.

e.

Defendant Hathorn and Maxfields use of excessive and extreme force


was objectively unreasonable under the circumstances presented to the
police officers, including, without limitation, that at the time of the seizure
Ms. Kinkade had not exhibited any force or aggression against
Defendants, Ms. Kinkade was under control of Defendants when she was
repeatedly thrown and dropped on the ground, Ms. Kinkade was
handcuffed, and the Defendants knew or had reason to know that Ms.
Kinkade presented no clear and imminent danger to themselves or others;

f.

Defendants knew or should have known that actions utilizing significantly


less force could have been used effectively to detain Ms. Kinkade;

g.

Defendants failed to act upon prior warning of previous incidents of


excessive force. Defendant Moon failed to properly train and supervise
officers as to proper use of force in an arrest and probable cause for arrest,
or develop a policy of use of least force necessary to accomplish the same
result.

h.

Defendants failed to utilize an objectively reasonable assessment of the


facts and level of threat of Ms. Kinkade when they decided to use

AMENDED CIVIL RIGHTS COMPLAINT, Page | 8

Case 1:16-cv-00194-CWD Document 4 Filed 05/16/16 Page 9 of 12

excessive and extreme force against Ms. Kinkade;


i.

None of the officers attempted to use a degree of reasonable force less


then excessive force and the choice to use such lesser degree of force was
objectively reasonable under the circumstances.
All Defendants conduct was well defined by law and each defendant

XXVII.

knew or reasonably should have known that their conduct was not only well
below the standard prescribed by law, but was illegal per se.
XXVIII.

As a result of the violations of the Constitutional standards set forth

herein, Plaintiff suffered significant physical injuries, as well as emotional and


mental trauma. The extent of Plaintiffs injuries and damages will be more fully
proven at trial.
XXIX. Each of the actions described above were performed by Defendants Hathorn and
Maxfield, while they were on duty, working and employed by the City of Weiser
and the Weiser Police Department, in uniform, and carrying a badge and a
weapon operating under color of authority and law.
XXX. Plaintiff was required to hire attorneys to represent her in this matter and are thus
entitled to an award of reasonable attorneys fees and costs pursuant to 42 U.S.C.
1988.
SECOND CLAIM FOR RELIEF: Arrest without Probable Cause
42 U.S.C. 1983 and/or Bivens cause of action:
Violation of the 4th and 14th Amendment against Defendants
XXXI. Plaintiff incorporated herein by reference paragraphs I-XXVIII as is more fully
set forth herein.
XXXII.

Plaintiff is entitled to be free from unlawful and unreasonable search and

AMENDED CIVIL RIGHTS COMPLAINT, Page | 9

Case 1:16-cv-00194-CWD Document 4 Filed 05/16/16 Page 10 of 12

seizure and confinement of her person pursuant to the parameters of the 4th and
14th Amendments to the United States Constitution.
XXXIII.

The acts and omission of Defendants in arresting Plaintiff violated

Plaintiffs protected rights against seizure of her person without probable cause,
was objectively unreasonable based on the totality of the circumstances, and
amounted to deliberate indifferent to Plaintiffs protected rights. Defendants
violated the requirements of the 4th and 14th Amendment rights held by Plaintiff to
the integrity of their person and their right to be free from unlawful arrest.
XXXIV.

The specific acts of defendants, individually and in concert with each

other, alleged to be deliberately indifferent, failure to train, are more particularly


set forth below:
a.

Defendant Hathorn and Maxfield arrested and seized Ms. Kinkade in the
public street because she made a statement to the officers after being told
that she was free to go, she stated, Then I can tell you to fuck off and you
cannot do anything about it.

b.

Ms. Kinkade then stated the same again at which time and without reason,
Defendant Hathorn grabbed Ms. Kinkade by the throat with one hand and
choked her.

c.

During and after Defendant Hathorn was choking her, Ms. Kinkade
attempted to get him away from her, using reasonable force to protect
herself from Defendant Hathorn unreasonable aggression.

d.

Defendant Hathorn again then attacked Ms. Kinkade and with one arm
around her neck, threw her forcibly onto the concrete and landed with his

AMENDED CIVIL RIGHTS COMPLAINT, Page | 10

Case 1:16-cv-00194-CWD Document 4 Filed 05/16/16 Page 11 of 12

full weight upon her.


e.

At the time of Defendants actions, there was no probable cause to believe


that Ms. Kinkade had violated any laws or misdemeanors in the officers
presence. Ms. Kinkade was subject to arrest and detention, and the
circumstances then present did not warrant the detention of Ms. Kinkade
as there was no criminal activity occurring or probable cause of criminal
activity.

f.

Defendant Chief Moon failed to adequately train or supervise officers


Hathorn and Maxfield in proper use of force in an arrest or detaining.
Chief Moon failed to take appropriate measures to protect the
public/citizens after Chief Moon was previously warned regarding
Hathorns excessive use of force on previous occasions.

XXXV.

All Defendants conduct was well defined by law and each defendant

knew or should have known that their conduct was not only well below the
standard of law described herein, but was illegal per se.
XXXVI.

As a direct and proximate result of the actions described herein, Ms.

Kinkade sustained physical, emotional, and mental injury. The extent of Ms.
Kinkades damages will be more fully proven at trial.
XXXVII.

All of the actions described herein were performed by Defendants while

they were on duty, working for and employed by City of Weiser and the City of
Weiser Police Department, in uniform, and carrying a badge and weapon and
therefore acting under color of state law and authority.
