Who is Monterrious Harris?

Harris said that “They were trying to pull me out of the car, but my car was locked. I thought someone was trying to carjack me. I didn’t know they were officers,”.

On January 4 oath of a complaint filed by the arresting officers showed that the five officers involved in Nichols’s beating were part of the nine-member squad that arrested Monterrious. However, the documents did not reveal whether any officers were involved in a physical altercation.
Monterrious was sitting in his car at the Twin Oak Apartments when several men wearing ski masks suddenly came with guns drawn. One guy punched the window of his car, a Chrysler 300, and another blinded him with a flashlight as other officers were in his vehicle. They closed him and asked him to put his hands up but before he could do that, they banged him on the concrete and started punching him in the face, said Harris, according to the report of NBC.
He was arrested and taken to jail, where a nurse determined he needed medical attention, which he received at a hospital.
