Sorority sister sues cops over ‘violent takedown’ that exposed her butt

A sorority sister whose caught-on-camera arrest outside a Colorado bar went viral claims she was publicly humiliated because cops didn’t pull down her mini dress — leaving her “lower buttocks” exposed as she got hauled off in handcuffs.

Michaella Surat, 24, is suing over the incident in which she was slammed to a sidewalk and busted for intervening after her boyfriend was thrown out of the Bondi Beach Bar in Fort Collins in April 2017.

Court papers say Surat suffered a concussion, cervical spine strain and a large bruise on her chin during the “violent takedown,” which was viewed hundreds of thousands of times after a bystander posted a 9-second cellphone video online.

Surat alleges that she was also “humiliated during this experience” because the arresting officer, Randall Klamser, ignored the fact that “her dress rose above her hips and her lower buttocks and underwear were exposed” while she lay face down on the pavement.

When Klamser and another cop, Garrett Pastor, pulled Surat to her feet, one of them “partially attempted to fix her dress, but it was not pulled down enough and she was paraded through Old Town Square with part of her lower buttocks still exposed,” her Denver federal court suit says.

It wasn’t until she pleaded with passers-by that “a young woman helped Ms. Surat by pulling the skirt of her dress down,” according to the suit.

Surat, who was a junior at Colorado State University and a member of the Gamma Phi Beta sorority at the time, is seeking unspecified damages on grounds of excessive force and failure to properly train Fort Collins cops.

Klamser’s body camera recorded Surat refusing repeated orders to “back off” and Klamser warning her, “I don’t want to throw you on the ground. Please don’t do that” as she struggled with him.

Klamser was cleared of any wrongdoing following an internal investigation.

In August, a jury convicted Surat of obstructing a police officer and resisting arrest, and she was sentenced to one year of probation, community service, an alcohol-abuse evaluation and attendance at a “Making Better Choices” class.

The Fort Collins City Attorney’s Office declined to comment.
