Man arrested at Kings Island sues park for $10 million, claiming mistreatment

Posted | Contributed by Outlane

An Illinois man has filed a $10 million federal lawsuit against Paramount's Kings Island and several park police stemming from his arrest last summer on sexual-imposition charges. Keith Bays, 44, says he was wrongfully arrested and "manhandled" by park police May 28 after two women complained about his behavior toward them.

If I were this person and I didn't do anything wrong of course I would be angry. But wouldn't you be angry with the people who made the alligations as well? I would be and I would want them charged with filing a false police report first and foremost. He makes no mention of that except some blaket statement that he had no sexual contact with either one, which I'm sure was given to him by his lawyer.

It's not an easy situation to deal with. But I would rather have police make an error on the side of public safety. Could have it been done differently? Of course. But like I said before there are a lot of unknowns here, including his behavior at the time of the incident. I don't know if this happened or not, but what if he refused to identify himself when the police responded? Would you arrest him then?? How cooperative was he at the time? That is a huge part in this that we just don't know. Were there witnesses?? Do stories match up?? I really don't think we have enough here to make the decision that arresting him was incorrect.

Apollo said it best above. Sue the people with the money no matter who started it all.
