Former Iowa City officer sues city over discrimination
Emilio Puente, a former Iowa City police officer, sues the city and police department in federal court alleging racial and disability discrimination. He recounts three incidents from 2019 to 2021, including email mockery of his Latino ethnicity, a grassy-area chase, and a resignation after a force incident. He claims coercion to resign while disabled, leading to financial hardship and loss of disability pay, and seeks damages and a trial.
