Framed? Ex-Yankee Security Guard Sues Delta Over Drug Arrest

A former Yankee Stadium security guard filed a lawsuit against Delta Airlines, citing that he lost his job over a crime he didn’t commit.

Roger Levans, 56, says he lost his job after someone planted cocaine in his luggage on Dec. 29, 2010.

“I was handcuffed and then taken to another room,” he said. “I was stripped. They told me to take off my clothes . . . bend down. After they found nothing, they told me to put back on my clothes. They handcuffed my hands and my feet. They shackled me to a bench.”

“I could have spent up to 40 years in prison” on the charges, he said.
