NEW HAVEN, Conn. - A New Haven resident has filed a lawsuit blaming the former police chief and others for creating the conditions that led to his false arrest on drug charges. Norval Falconer filed the $10 million lawsuit Monday in U.S. District Court in New Haven against former Chief Francisco Ortiz and former detectives William White, Justen Kasperzyk and Jose Silva. White, Silva and Kasperzyk were sentenced to prison for corruption. Telephone messages were left Monday for Ortiz. Falconer, 27, says he was falsely arrested on drug charges two years ago at an apartment after former detectives planted drugs. The lawsuit claims Ortiz and the city gave tacit approval to the conduct of the officers by failing to supervise them and putting pressure on them to make arrests at any cost.
