COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. --
A man who was seriously injured after an acquaintance was arrested on a charge of DUI is suing the Colorado Springs Police Department and the city of Colorado Springs.
Mitchel Anderson took a ride in February 2010 with a man he met at a bar while partying.
When officers arrested the driver on suspicion of drunken driving, Anderson said police told him to take a walk, according to the Colorado Springs Gazette.
The newspaper said about an hour later, Anderson walked into the path of a car and ended up with 21 broken bones.
Anderson is suing, claiming he was so drunk that police should have taken him home or put him in protective custody.
