McDonald said he was bent over the hood of the car face down as three officers held him. One cut his underwear and went under his pants feeling his scrotum and rectum. He said the officer put a finger in his rectum. “I couldn’t see it but I could feel it,” he said.

Prior to the search, when McDonald said he saw an officer put on latex gloves. “I said, ‘we don’t have to do this.’ And I pulled out the marijuana.” According to the police report, McDonald pulled a bag of marijuana from the front of his pants but the officer said he could still feel something.
