GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. (WOOD) — A new federal lawsuit has been filed against the cities of Grand Rapids and Kentwood after a man claims he was racially profiled by police officers last year. According to the lawsuit, on May 28 of last year, Johnathan Gafford, a Black man, was tailed by police after leaving Kentwood to drive to a Grand Rapids hotel. 'He was following the speed limit, he had rented a car, was in a rental car, there was no problem with that,' said Richard Mack Jr., Johnathan Gafford's attorney.
