A man who says he is the ex-boyfriend of Ruhama Buni Canellis, the newlywed wife of former priest Alberto Cutie, is suing the couple and the Biscayne Park Police Department.
In a lawsuit filed in Miami-Dade Circuit Court, Maxi Paulus Ratunuman, 44, says Biscayne Park police arrested him without cause on June 6 while he was installing floor tiles in a customer's house on Griffing Boulevard in Biscayne Park. The reason: Ratunuman, who the lawsuit says lived with Canellis in the Biscayne Park area for three years and helped raise her teenage son, had information ''that would bode badly'' for the her and Cutie, who wanted to get him out of the picture.
County records show that Biscayne Park police Officer Antonio Sanchez, named in the suit along with Officer Raimundo Atesiano, arrested Ratunuman on trespassing charges.
Ratunuman, a native of Indonesia, is being held at the Metro West Detention Center on an immigration hold. He also faces charges of driving with an expired license. He goes to trial July 15.
