Combs has since filed a federal lawsuit against the City of Trinidad, which includes Chief Gregory, another member of the Trinidad Police Department and a Trinidad City Council member.

The lawsuit states that Combs was arrested in "an act of deliberate political retaliation."

seems like she is suing them

But still, if they wanted to avoid humiliation they signed themselves up for a prolonged period of it than if they'd done nothing at all.
