A developmentally disabled resident is suing the Huntington Beach Police Department for allegedly allowing information about his condition to get out, which he claims led to harassment by neighbors.
John Patrick Rogers, whose criminal record goes back to the early 2000s, said when police arrested him from his van in front of his home May 21, they left the driver-side window down and the van unlocked.
The van, which had medical records for him and his now-deceased mother, thousands of pictures and items with sentimental value, was ransacked and his information got out, Rogers said in the lawsuit.
