A Montgomery County judge has thrown out evidence against a man arrested on gun charges in an order saying the Dayton police officers “staged” their justification for pulling him over and made remarks “that strongly suggests racial profiling.”

The order from Montgomery County Common Pleas Judge Steven Dankof granted a motion to suppress evidence found in the traffic stop, including a loaded firearm. Prosecutors filed a notice Monday that they intend to appeal the order.

Defendant Calvin Wilson, 34, is charged with improper handling of a firearm in a motor vehicle and having weapons while under disability because of 2004 felony assault conviction.
