his own car.(Photo: Corvontae Davis)
Corvontae Davis went to the Third Ward on Tuesday to have lunch with his brother.
When
he was getting into his own car to find change to put into the parking
meter, a woman started yelling at him and called police. She thought he
was breaking into the car.
He felt her response was racially motivated.
The
Oak Creek resident said he did struggle briefly to open the doors of
the car. He has a 2016 Ford Mustang with keyless entry. But instead of
asking him if there was a problem, she crossed to the other side of the
street, started yelling at him and called police.
Call logs confirm that someone called police to report a suspicious person with a car at that time and place.
Davis took video of the woman making the call and posted it on Facebook.
"It
was very embarrassing. I work for the State of Wisconsin as an officer
at a local prison and to be accused of such behavior, it’s
mind-boggling," he said.
Davis waited for police to arrive.
"She
stood there for a while. When she noticed that the cops arrived, she
went off and didn’t interact with the police department. She didn’t
interact with me," Davis said. "She left me out there to explain myself
and the situation and what was going on."
Davis
said he offered police officers his license and registration and they
did confirm he owned the car and apologized for the woman's behavior.
Davis didn't know the woman's name but he said he's looking for an apology, nothing more.
