SCHERERVILLE, IN — A federal lawsuit alleges that police officers forged the results of a breath alcohol test and then forcibly penetrated a man’s body with a catheter to extract his bodily fluids.
William B. Clark, 23, gave a disturbing account detailing official police misconduct and invasive, forced medical procedures.
Clark, of Crown Point, was pulled over on the evening of May 20, 2012, while driving on U.S. 30 near its intersection with U.S. 41, on suspicion of driving under the influence.
Schererville Police Officer Matthew Djukic initiated the traffic stop, and Officer Damian Murks responded in a separate vehicle. Mr. Clark was asked to perform a Breathalyzer test, which he did.
The suit alleges that the results of the breath test were falsely reported to create a pretext to arrest Clark. The legal limit in Indiana is 0.08 BAC, police claimed Clark’s was 0.11 BAC. While on the scene, Officer Djukic searched the interior of Clark’s car with a canine, a process Clark says was done illegally.
Mr. Clark was then taken to the St. Margaret Mercy Hospital in nearby Dyer, Indiana. Clark submitted to a blood test, the lawsuit states, which showed that his BAC only 0.073 — below the legal limit. The blood test is the most accurate method to measure blood-alcohol content.
As the case against Mr. Clark began to fall apart, officers required that Mr. Clark provide a urine sample. However, Clark wasn’t able to urinate. Officer Djukic allegedly became impatient and made an effort to forcibly extract a urine sample. Clark states that he was physically restrained by Officer Djukic while hospital staff moved in to force a catheter through his penis to extract urine. The suit claims Officer Murks was complicit in the process.
During the forced catheterization, Clark “loudly moaned in pain.” He states that the process was “painful, degrading and humiliating.”
Despite the blood test that indicated he was legal to drive, Mr. Clark was arrested for operating a vehicle while intoxicated.
In Indiana, those who refuse chemical tests generally have their driver’s licenses suspended. Forced fluid extraction requires a warrant. (See IC 9-30-6-7)
Clark has filed a federal lawsuit with the U.S. District Court in Hammond. Named as defendants are Officer Matthew Djukic, Officer Damian Murks, the town of Schererville, and the Franciscan Alliance which owns the hospital.
