Man Arrested For Giving 75 Cent To Homeless

truther January 19, 2014

Greg Snider was in a Houston, Texas parking lot, on the phone making a business call. While in the lot, a homeless man approached his car and asked forchange. Snider gave him 75 cents and then drove off. KPRC Local 2 News reported on the shocking thing that happened next.

When Snider pulled onto a nearby freeway, a police car pulled him to the side. Greg was surprised by how aggressive the officer was, telling KPRC, “He’s screaming. He’s yelling. He’s telling me to get out of the car. He’s telling me to put my hands on the hood…They’re like, ‘We saw you downtown. We saw what you did.’ And I was like, ‘Are you kidding me? I gave a homeless man 75 cents.’”

He was dragged out of his car and handcuffed. So what was it that police insisted Mr. Snider had done? Give that homeless man drugs. Again, he didn’t. Snider only gave the man some money.

Snider agreed to let police search his cars for drugs, and they did so for an hour while Greg remained handcuffed. In that time, ten more police cars showed up and pulled over. The search was not fruitful – no drugs were found in the car. That is, because, as previously mentioned, Snider didn’t have any drugs to give. Snider was not happy about the damage police did to his car, or that the police were actually laughing about the mistake.

Mr. Snider has filed a complaint. Police declined to comment to KPRC about the incident.

I totally agree with you loco oro. Wouldn't you think (I know think) that the cops would of searched the "homeless" man first for the drugs that they say this man gave to him? Heck maybe they did and actually found drugs on him (homeless man) .... and that's why he was pulled over. But for an HOUR!!!!! Wish I knew if the cops did find drugs on the homeless man.

I hope he gets a good lawyer and sues the pants off those cops and the municipality who hired them. The abuse of power by police these days is reaching an intolerable level.

Lawyer is the way to go. Police who act like that should not be police.
