Connecticut prosecutors have dropped charges against Fr James Manship
who was arrested while videotaping East Haven police officers in
an attempt to document alleged harassment of Hispanics.
The Hartford Courant reports that parishioners of Fr Manship's church also announced Thursday that they filed a complaint with the U.S. Justice Department seeking an investigation of East Haven police for alleged brutality and racial profiling of Hispanics.
Manship, of St. Rose of Lima Church in New Haven, was charged Feb. 19 with disorderly conduct and interfering with police. He was videotaping two officers who were removing what they called illegal license plates from a wall of a Hispanic couple's food store.
