AN aging billionaire has been slammed with 19 lawsuits from his daughter and son-in-law, who had him arrested and removed from his townhouse for allegedly being aggressive.
Hubert Neumann, 92, is locked in a legal battle over his $1billion art collection in a familial drama that mirrors Paramount Network's Yellowstone.
Three days before Christmas in 2018, Neumann's son-in-law Jeffrey Donnelly called police and asked them to come to his father-in-law's New York City townhouse.
He accused Neumann of shoving him and violating an order of protection that confined the elderly man to the top floors of his home.
Donnelly told the 911 operator: "He just created an aggressive situation," according to a call obtained by The U.S. Sun.
Neumann was 86 years old at the time.
Surveillance footage from the entrance of his home shows the art collector being cuffed and escorted out by officers while Donnelly sits on the stairs and watches.
That night, Neumann barely slept as he lay in a cold, potentially vermin-infested cell, while his daughter, son-in-law, and grandchildren continued to live rent-free in the townhouse that held his life's work.
The following year, Neumann's team appeared in family court, but Donnelly's lawyers announced that the claims had been withdrawn.
The DA's office later said that they would not prosecute the case and the matter was dismissed, erasing Neumann's opportunity to clear his name.
