LOS ANGELES COUNTY, Calif. - A man plans to sue Los Angeles County after he says deputies wrongfully detained him in relation to a dangerous pursuit as he and his family tried to get away from flying bullets.

Cruz says deputies handcuffed him and put him in the back of a cruiser, where he sat for over an hour. Cruz plans to sue the county for $1.5 million because of what happened to him and his family, who watched the incident in horror.Cruz’s attorney, Greg Kirakosian, says there are circumstances where officers act beyond the law, and he feels strongly this is one of those cases.
