A Dallas, Texas, man was picking up breakfast for his young children when he says police officers pulled him over, beat him and tased him with a stun gun after mistaking him for a domestic violence suspect with a similar name. Silvester Hayes, a 27-year-old single father of four children, was then wrongly arrested even after police realized their mistake, according to a federal lawsuit he filed last week against the city and multiple police officers. The incident on Oct.

'Instead of providing Plaintiff Hayes with an explanation for forcibly removing him from his vehicle, Defendant Officers Guab and Harris escalated their use of force against Plaintiff Hayes,' according to the suit. As the two officers were 'manhandling' Hayes, several more officers arrived at the scene and frantically started screaming 'gun' when they spotted Hayes' firearm in his vehicle, the lawsuit says.
