          It will begin at Fort Lee Borough Hall at 2 P.M.  Fort Lee Borough Hall is located at 309 Main Street, Fort Lee, New Jersey

          On August 2nd, 2018, Keilan and Wini Scott, a young African American couple, had the traumatic misfortune to discover that her brother, Iyekepolor Idumwonyi had passed away in his living room.

          He was only 32.

          They immediately called Wini’s parents, who own the home and also live there, and the authorities. Her parents arrived first. To their painful and more tragic surprise, they found themselves facing hostile treatment from the responding officers who ultimately put them both under arrest. Keilan, who was arrested first, is now facing two counts of Assault, Resisting Arrest and Making Terroristic Threats. Winnie was arrested upon objecting to her husband’s arrest and mistreatment and is now facing an Obstruction of Justice charge.

          Kelian also has a PreTrial Intervention hearing on Monday, August 12^th at 9am before Judge Keith Bachman in Room 312 at the Bergen County Courthouse, located at 10 Main Street, Hackensack.

          “Here is a case where a family’s personal tragedy is compounded by bad and biased policing that has turned their tragedy into a horror story,” said P.O.P. Chairman Lawrence Hamm.

          “Isn’t the tragedy of losing their loved suddenly enough Trauma for one family to bear?

          “Now this family has to be re-traumatized trying to clear their name when their call for help was senselessly criminalized,” he finished emphatically.
