Ohio family held at gunpoint on Air Force museum visit sues
{{#rendered}} {{/rendered}}An Ohio family handcuffed and held at gunpoint during a 2014 visit to the National Air Force Museum is suing Wright-Patterson Air Force Base security officers alleging civil rights violations.
The Dayton Daily News (http://bit.ly/1M6VUS5) reports Wendy Hill, her mother-in-law and two children updated a March lawsuit on Friday.
The suit alleges unreasonable search and seizure and due-process violations. It seeks $75,000 and a jury trial. A separate administrative review is also proceeding.
{{#rendered}} {{/rendered}}Four police officers, including three in military fatigues, drew guns on the Hills' van as the family was leaving the museum parking lot in April 2014. A 911 caller had reported a family possibly casing visitor vehicles.
The Air Force says it misidentified the Hills' vehicle as stolen. A spokeswoman declined to comment on pending litigation.
