Syracuse, N.Y. – The President of the Syracuse Chapter of the Southern Christian
Leadership Conference (SCLC) and local area reverend known for his activism, Dr.
Lemorris Dexter, 44, is in jail. He is awaiting sentencing after being found guilty on
March 20th of “disorderly conduct” and “obstructing governmental administration”
misdemeanor charges, commonly referred to as contempt of cop charges.
The trumped up case against Dexter stems from an incident that took place on January
4, 2014, in which both the reverend and his wife, Alisha, were beaten by cops in the
front yard of their home
At approximately 9:30 a.m. on the morning of the January 4th, the Dexters were going
to a clothing drive and exiting out the back of their home when they noticed strangers
in their shed.
Alisha went into their home and called 9-1-1 to report the intruders. When cops
arrived, they “made no attempt to investigate” their complaint about trespassers,” and
instead became hostile toward" them, according to the Dexters.
