Bob Marley’s Granddaughter To Sue California Police Department

Bob Marley’s grand-daughters, filmmaker Donisha Prendergast, is planning to sue the Rialto Police Department in California.

Prendergast and her two friends were leaving a house she rented through Airbnb, when they were mistaken for burglars in the San Bernardino suburb last week and a resident called 911.

The three – which also included Kells Fyffe Marshall and Komi-Oluwa Ola-fimi-han – were released when the officers established they were indeed Airbnb guests.

But Prendergast took to Instagram and linked the incident to race, noting that she and her friends were surrounded by the police for being black in a white neighbourhood.

Her friend, Kells Fyffe-Marshall, also linked the incident to race.

She wrote that ‘about 10 seconds’ after they carried their luggage into the cars they were surrounded by 7 police cars. The police locked down the neighborhood and they were held ‘for 45 minutes’ while the police ‘figured it out’.

Fyffe-Marshall also contended that the cops admit that the woman’s reason for calling the police was because the trio didn’t wave to her as she looked at them putting their luggage in the car from her lawn.
