Unarmed man who survived barrage of gunfire by Akron police officer files federal lawsuit
One year after an Akron police officer shot him multiple times, including in the chest, outside of an Ellet bar, Corey Phillips filed a federal lawsuit against the City of Akron and the police officer who shot him. Officer Caleb Bodjanac fired his Glock 45 at least 15 times after responding to 911 calls that Phillips was armed and belligerently threatening patrons inside Karam’s Lounge and in the parking lot of the business plaza after he was kicked out of the bar.
