Ronald Tillery of the Memphis Commercial Appeal reports that the Grizzlies' Ike Austin is suing the Salt Lake City police over an incident on Sepember 24, 2000.  The suit alleges that 20 officers held Austin and his personal chef Marvin Brown at gunpoint because they are black.


Austin noticed police cars following him for about 10 minutes before he was pulled over.  When he got out of the car several officers pulled out their guns.  Austin was handcuffed, although neither he nor Brown was arrested or charged for any offence.  

There's no mention whether Officer Polynice was among the police.
