Ex-D.C. firefighter sues Fairfax County over false arrest which sent him to prison

Elon Wilson, now 26, had been a D.C. firefighter for 2 years when he crossed paths with then-Officer Jonathan A. Freitag on the morning of April 3, 2018. Freitag had solely been an officer for a yr, and has stated he wished to be aggressive and make arrests. However he quickly drew complaints from residents, and when Fairfax police inner affairs officers started wanting on the in-car movies of Freitag’s stops in 2019, they discovered a sample of issues, together with Freitag’s personal admissions that he made pretextual stops to seek for medicine and weapons, in response to an inner affairs report on Freitag written final yr.
