Ahmed Mohamed, the 14-year-old so-called "clock kid" who made headlines after being arrested for bringing a homemade clock to his Texas school, is seeking $15 million in damages and written apologies from the Irving, Texas mayor and police chief.
A "letter of demand" sent to Mohamed's former school and city officials by his lawyers warns that they will be seeking $15 million and written apologies from Irving Mayor Beth Van Duyne and Police Chief Larry Boyd for their handling of the situation.
The letter offers a timeline of events that range from the alleged interrogation of Mohamed at school to Van Dunye's appearance on Glenn Beck's show and even an Internet meme that superimposed Mohamed's head onto Osama bin Laden's body and called him a "little terrorist."
