GALVESTON - A La Porte man claims three Kemah police officers beat him during a stop last year, recent court documents say.
Daniel Coots filed a lawsuit against the city of Kemah, the Kemah Police Department
and the unnamed officers on Sept. 2 in Galveston County District Court.
According to the suit, Coots was on his way home in the early morning hours of Jan. 31, 2009, when he pulled into the parking lot of a Target and Home Depot to check for directions and was
approached by the defendants.
