Eight youths sue Ridley Township cops over race claims
Eight juvenile minorities filed a federal suit against Ridley Township police for detaining them during a 1988 Philadelphia Inquirer subscription drive in Leedom Estates. Attorneys allege race prompted the stop, arrest, and detention, with two teens initially cited and later released after a company paid $140. The township denies the race allegations and says officers acted on complaints.
