CLAYTON • A man who claims he was the victim of an assault and cover-up by Country Club Hills police is calling on St. Louis County Prosecutor Wesley Bell to present the case to a grand jury.
In a news conference Wednesday outside the Buzz Westfall Justice Center, Mohammad Wishah, 58, of Country Club Hills, said two officers from that city’s police force roughed him up July 25 at the Mally Supermarket, 7445 West Florissant Avenue.
Wishah says he was at the store to buy food for his family that evening and had been chatting with the officers in the store when they suddenly ordered him to leave, forced him out the door and pushed him to the ground outside, injuring his back.
Wishah said he was not arrested and did nothing to provoke the officers.
