A 27-year-old Texas security guard who lost his job and his home after he was wrongfully arrested in 2021 is suing the city of Dallas and multiple police officers for jailing him even after one of them exclaimed “F—, we got the wrong guy,” realizing the spelling of his first name was not the same as the domestic violence suspect they were looking for.

Silvester Hayes filed suit in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Texas on Oct. 16 against Dallas Police Department officers Walter Paul Guab, Holly Harris, and 10 Does, for allegedly violating 42 U.S.C. § 1983 and his Fourth and 14th Amendment rights on the morning of Oct. 16, 2021, while the single father of four was on his way to pick up French toast and bacon for his kids.
