A Daly City woman who was handcuffed and briefly detained for a crime she did not commit is suing the police officers who arrested her.

The federal lawsuit alleges the officers violated the woman’s civil rights and that the department failed to properly investigate her complaint about the false arrest. It names seven Daly City police officers, a sergeant and the department’s chief, Patrick Hensley, as defendants, in addition to the city of Daly City and San Mateo County.

The case started with a report of a battery in which a woman broke a glass over a man’s head at Classic Bowling Center in Daly City on the night of Jan. 27, 2018.

A complaint filed in U.S. District Court on Friday alleges a bartender told Daly City police who responded that she believed the woman used a credit card with the name Lisette Muniz, which prompted the officers to ask the county’s dispatch center for contact information for that name.

The officers wound up at the home of Lissette and Jaime Muñoz, the plaintiffs in the lawsuit.

Daly City police should have realized, according to Muñoz’s complaint, that she did not match the description of the woman in the battery. Officers also believed the woman had likely cut her hand in the incident, since there was blood all over the women’s restroom at the bowling alley, but neither Lissette Muñoz nor her husband had any injuries. Both denied they had been involved in any battery.

But attorneys for Muñoz say the officers illegally entered and searched the family’s home, then arrested Lissette Muñoz for the battery, handcuffed her and put her in a police car and took her to the police department’s headquarters.

Muñoz was later released after officers at the bowling alley saw video of the battery from surveillance cameras, according to the complaint.

Muñoz filed an internal affairs complaint about the incident the following month, but her lawsuit alleges the department “failed to properly investigate the incident, and/or failed to take any action to discipline the involved officers or avoid similar incidents from occurring in the future.”

The lawsuit seeks compensatory and punitive damages, attorneys fees and an order barring Daly City police from “engaging in the unconstitutional customs, policies, practices, training, and supervision as may be determined.”

A spokesman for Daly City police declined to comment on ongoing litigation. Daly City City Attorney Rose Zimmerman and David Silberman, chief deputy county counsel for San Mateo County, said their offices have not been served with the lawsuit, and declined to comment on it.
