CVS Employee Arrested 7 Minutes After Getting Off Work (UPDATE)

On June 3 of last year, I posted the video showing 22 year old Paul Wert sitting on a bench outside the CVS store where he worked. He had just gotten off work. The store had closed about 7 minutes earlier. Then, here comes Edgewater police officer Daniel Rippeon. Officer Rippeon observed Paul and concluded that he looked suspicious. No crime had been committed. No crime had been alleged by anyone to have been committed. Yet Paul was almost immediately seized and threatened with being tased and bitten by a police K9. In the end, he was taken to jail, despite the fact that Officer Rippeon was fully aware that Paul was a store employee waiting for a Lyft driver. It’s now been 9 months and I have all the updates for you, straight from Paul’s lawyer.
