“According to the lawsuit, police were investigating reports of domestic abuse and sought to occupy the home of Anthony Mitchell at 367 Eveningside Ave., saying it would help them gain advantage over the suspect, who was barricaded in his home at 363 Eveningside Ave.

“Mitchell refused and police forced their way in, shooting him and his dog with pepperball projectiles, the lawsuit says. The lawsuit also alleges that police harassed and abused Mitchell’s parents, who lived at another house on the street.

“After police rummaged through the homes, they arrested Anthony Mitchell and his father and held them in the Henderson Detention Center for nine hours. The case against them, however, was dismissed with prejudice by Henderson Municipal Court. The case against the domestic violence suspect was also dismissed with prejudice.”
