On January 2, David W. Eckert was stopped by police in Deming, NM for running a stop sign.
What happened next is extremely difficult to comprehend.
Deming Police Officer Robert Chavez had Eckert exit his vehicle, and patted him down. A lawsuit filed by Eckert says this was without reasonable suspicion. According to court documents, the officers who stopped Eckert thought he was clenching his buttocks.
They brought in a dog to sniff for drugs, and the dog alerted to the drivers seat.
Two deputies from the Hidalgo County Sheriffs Department told Chavez that Eckert was known to insert drugs into his body, a claim Eckert denies.
The Albuquerque Journal reports, Though he was not under arrest during the January incident, Eckert was placed in handcuffs and taken to the Deming Police Department officers obtained a warrant to search Eckerts car and his body, including his anal cavity.
Eckert was taken to the Mimbres Memorial Hospital, but the emergency room doctor at Mimbres Memorial Hospital in Deming refused to conduct the cavity search on ethical grounds, so he was transported an hour away to the Gila Regional Medical Center.
He was then submitted to eight invasive procedures, and protested each one insisting he was not hiding drugs.

After 15 hours and eight non-consensual procedures (six of which border on rape), Eckert was released without charge. To add insult to injury, Gila Regional Medical Center billed Eckert approximately $6,000 for the procedures that he did not want, and to which he did not consent.
