HOUSTON -- The manager of one of Houston's most famous rap artists made assault allegations against a local police department, KPRC Local 2 reported Friday.

Terrance "T" Flowers, the manager for Mike Jones, said Jersey Village police officers injured him.

Flowers said he does not believe he was treated unfairly because he is a black man, but because he works for a popular rapper.

It started when someone called 911 after Flowers had an argument with his ex-girlfriend in an apartment parking lot.

"They jumped out their car, pulled their pistols out, told me to get down, yelling and screaming, so I automatically did what they told me to do," Flowers said.

Flowers said police became more violent even though he was unarmed and cooperating.

"I get down to my knees. They shove me down. A black cop put a foot on my head. They still had their pistols on me, telling me to get down, get down, but I’m already down, though," he said.

He said police handcuffed him with his hands behind his back and lifted his hands so high that one of his arms was nearly broken. Flowers said he was then put in the back of a police cruiser, where he sat for 30 minutes before they let him go.

Flowers filed an official complaint with the Jersey Village Police Department on Friday.

Police said the complaint would be investigated.

Flowers said he learned that he has two outstanding traffic warrants for his arrest, but he was not taken into custody, which he believes is a sign that the officers knew they were out of line.

KPRC Local 2 asked Flowers why he thought he was treated unfairly because he works for a rapper.

He said police made statements such as, "You think you can get away with certain types of behavior because of who you are" after his ex-girlfriend told officers who he works for.
