Irving clockmaker’s family hires lawyer to investigate ‘hoax bomb’ charge
Two little-known lawyers announced Wednesday that they’ve been hired to investigate police treatment of Irving’s most famous teenager.
Ahmed Mohamed’s family has retained Thomas Bowers, the attorney told reporters Wednesday in the top-floor office of a north Dallas advertising firm.
“There’s a problem when you have a 14-year-old child arrested in school and basically humiliated in front of his classmates, his teachers, his friends and basically the whole world,” said Bowers. “He may be smiling on the outside, but he’s having some issues.”
Ahmed’s family said the now-famous boy has lost sleep since his teacher reported his homemade clock to police, who put him in handcuffs on a quickly dropped “hoax bomb” charge. The lawyers plan to have a medical professional examine the boy while they look into the city and school district’s actions.
