A Brooklyn man calling himself “The King Salem” is demanding $6 million from the NYPD because it arrested “one of the highest profile figures on earth” — him.
Tommy Adams, from East New York, might be the most famous guy no one has ever heard of, judging from his 70-page Brooklyn federal court filing.
“Other than Jesus, I will be the greatest man in the history of existence,” Adams boasts in court papers he drafted himself.
The Brooklynite claims he’s soon to graduate from not just Harvard, but MIT to boot, and says he is also a well-known athlete, author and scientist.
Adams has also predicted hurricanes and has saved people from a burning building, he says.
His suit against the NYPD claims his seven arrests for public urination over eight years were unjust, arguing, “You don’t arrest super-models on the streets of any city anywhere on earth multiple times without creating an international incident.”
Adams, who is representing himself, writes in the court filing: “The New York City police department engaged in a racist smear campaign against me knowing full well by then I was going to go down in history as the greatest saint any Church of any denomination will ever see until Jesus Himself returns to earth, by arresting me seven times for mere violations of the health code in as many years.”
The legal filing also includes six sworn statements from friends of Adams declaring they solemnly swear they have never seen Adams “with a beautiful woman,” and the court filing also includes statements that he will marry a black virgin teenager in a ceremony conducted by Pope Francis at the Vatican.
“At a minimum,” Adams writes, he is owed $6 million by the NYPD. But he adds that he’ll settle for $1 million.
