After his arrest for being under the influence of alcohol as a minor, he was placed in the cell I recognized, by two officers and the same jailer, and his pants and shirt were taken away. Like me, Franklin was rushed, shoved up against the wall, then down to the floor, where an officer and the jailer, kneeling on his back, held him face down. But then they did something to him that they did not do to me. With two already on his back, and after punching him in the face, the third officer stepped back, and began tasering Franklin's bare leg, more than ten times.

When the police withdrew, Franklin's arms and legs, which were held hog tied behind his back, collapsed, and he remained on the ground, unresponsive. They left him like this. A last officer leaving the cell can be heard saying, "What a douche bag!"

After the video finished, I was told that Kelton, who tasered Franklin, had been suspended previously by a department in New Mexico for tasering a man in custody to death. Then, in speaking with another local attorney, I discovered that the jailer, Hanson, had been suspended for the use of excessive force twice before.

Allison submitted a commentary to KCAW, describing his arrest in February while observing officers conduct a drunk driving investigation on a friend, also outside a bar.

“Without being charged, without being read my rights, without being given a phone call, I was handcuffed, taken into custody, placed in a cell, stripped naked, given a concussion, and held until late the following morning. After being released, I was not arraigned for seven weeks. My arrest wasn’t reported in the local police blotter. Appearing in court, the district attorney pulled me aside, apologized for the circumstances, and offered to dismiss my charges of drunk and disorderly conduct, and criminal mischief for my behavior after my arrest. Though not physically resisting, I did not go quietly.”

Allison posted the proposed radio commentary along with the video in social media. The commentary is under review by a broadcasting attorney, because it alleges that two of the three officers involved in the Hoogendorn arrest had been involved in disciplinary action for excessive use of force. Sitka police chief Sheldon Schmitt says that one officer disciplined for using a taser against a man in Roswell, New Mexico, who subsequently died, was cleared of any wrongdoing along with his fellow officers at the time. Schmitt says the allegations against the second Sitka officer — involved in a shooting — have also been taken out of context.

An angry mother recently posted cellphone video of her 7-year-old son in handcuffs at his elementary school. The officer who detained him was unable to release him because he lost his set of keys to the handcuffs.

Idaho State Police are investigating after a Council rancher was shot and killed Sunday by deputies with the Adams County Sheriff's Office.

The incident began when a Subaru station wagon crashed into a bull on US 95 north of Council at about 6:45 p.m. Emergency responders and Adams County deputies responded and were working to extricate the two people inside the car. Adams County Sheriff Ryan Zollman said the bull, which was injured in the collision, started charging at emergency responders and other vehicles.

"The bull was very agitated and was aggressive to emergency services, as well as the other cars coming up and down the highway," he said.

Deputies were getting ready to put the animal down when the bull's owner, 62-year-old Jack Yantis, arrived on the scene with a rifle. Zollman said dispatchers had called Yantis after the crash, telling him that the bull that was hit appeared to be his, and was down on the highway near his house.

What happened next is still under investigation, but Zollman said there was an altercation and Yantis and both deputies all fired their weapons.

Yantis was fatally wounded and died at the scene. One of the deputies suffered a minor injury.

An emotional Zollman said Monday that his thoughts went out to everyone involved, and that his office took the shooting very seriously. ISP has taken over the investigation to prevent a conflict of interest.

"This is going to be a big hit to this community," Zollman said. "The gentleman involved, Mr. Yantis, was a well-known cattle rancher around here. It's just a sad deal for everybody involved, for the whole community."

George Filenko, commander of the Lake County Major Crimes Task Force, called Gliniewicz's actions the "ultimate betrayal" that included intentionally leaving a staged trail of police equipment at the crime scene in an attempt to mislead police to believe his death was a homicide.
Filenko and other law enforcement officials announced details of the investigation's findings that Gliniewicz took a large sum of money from Fox Lake Explorer Post 300. Thousands of dollars was used by Gliniewicz for personal purchases, including travel expenses, mortgage payments, gym memberships, adult websites, facilitating personal loans and unaccounted cash withdrawals, Filenko said.

Louisiana Bureau of Investigations announced this week that an investigation had been opened after law enforcement officers killed a 6-year-old boy who was in the passenger seat of a fleeing car.

According to The Town Talk, preliminary details indicated that city marshals from Ward 2 “discharged their duty weapons, at a vehicle” while pursuing a man on Martin Luther King Drive in Marksville at around 9:30 p.m. on Tuesday night.

Officers said that after the suspect’s SUV backed into one of their vehicles, the marshals got out of their patrol cars and began to fire through the driver’s window.

A 6-year-old boy who was sitting in the passenger seat was pronounced dead at the scene. The boy’s father was listed in stable condition after being air-lifted to an Alexandria hospital.

The boy, who was identified as Jeremy David Mardis, was attending first grade at Lafargue Elementary. The father was identified as Chris Few.

State police opened an investigation at the request of the Marksville Police Department, where the Ward 2 marshals were stationed.

Marksville Police Chief Elster Smith said that the officers could be placed on leave until the investigation was concluded.

It was not immediately clear if the driver was armed.
