This sounds like a case of ex-girlfriend revenge. Seems like she pulled a classic "SWATTING" type of move.
Claims her ex-BF was harassing her at the local gas station. Except video footage shows she's alone at the gas station...And the BF has video evidence of being at another retail store at that time...
But cops don't need to worry about that, they just need a reason to beat the crap out of someone and show them who's boss. Gave the Dr. a heart attack and kidney failure on his dying son's 18th birthday who died a few months later. Those cops showed that guy who's boss didn't they?

MONTGOMERY, Ohio -- A Montgomery doctor is suing officers of the Blue Ash and Evendale police departments, saying they violated the Fourth Amendment by using excessive force during an arrest in December 2012.
The federal lawsuit alleges that on Dec. 2 of that year, William Cox was hosting a birthday party for his terminally ill son. During the party, which several of Cox's friends attended, Blue Ash and Evendale police officers showed up at his home, located in the 3600 block of Vineyard Ridge. The officers were there to arrested Cox after an ex-girlfriend, Gretchen Myers, said he violated a restraining order.
In internal investigation records released by the Blue Ash police department, the officers asked Cox to come outside, onto the front porch, where Cox resisted arrested and a crow of people formed around them.
According to the lawsuit and interviews of witnesses, the officers then grabbed Cox by the neck and forced him to the ground. He landed on his chest, with his arms underneath his body.
The suit claims an officer put his knee on Cox's back, and was unable to get one arm free. He ordered Cox to put his other hand behind his back, but Cox said he was unable to do so with the officer on top of him.
Another officer then used a Taser on Cox, and again, ordered him to put his hand behind his back, according to the suit. Cox was shocked two more times during the incident witnesses said lasted between 20 to 30 minutes, according to interviews conducted Blue Ash police internal affairs.
In those internal affairs documents, witnesses told officers that Cox suffered from panic attacks and took medication to calm the condition.
An officer ordered Cox to stand up, but Cox could not bring himself to his feet.
As a result of the use of force, Cox suffered a heart attack and kidney failure, according to the federal suit that includes four counts: use of excessive force, excessive force failure to intervene, battery and punitive damages.
The conclusion of the internal investigation conducted by Blue Ash police though said the officers on scene "acted appropriately and in an objectively appropriate manner."
In the findings, dated June 6, 2013, Blue Ash Police Chief Paul Hartinger went on to state, "I further find the officers used only that force necessary to take Dr. Cox into custody, and the use of force was discontinued when Dr. Cox was securely in custody."
Cox's son passed away from brain cancer on July 2, 2013.
Cox also disputed the series of events that led to the arrest warrant. In court documents Myers, who filed the protection order, said that on Nov. 27, 2012, Cox broke the law when he did not immediately leave a nearby gas station when she was pumping gas.
Eventually, the charges of resisting arrest and violation of a protective order against Cox were dismissed, according to the Hamilton County Clerks Office.
