Monongalia County (WV) police accused of assaulting man with Huntington’s disease
Monongalia County police accused of assaulting man with Huntington’s diseaseBy Erin Beck
Staff writer
The family of a Granville man who has Huntington’s disease is alleging officers from two Monongalia County police departments assaulted him.
A ten-minute YouTube video appears to show Jeffrey Brian Bane, 39, bleeding from the face while being held down by police officers in Westover Saturday.
On the Facebook page “Justice for Jeffery Bane,” Bane’s nephew Josh writes that Bane was maced and beaten before officers held him down while his children watched.
Bane can be heard saying “help me,” “I can’t breathe,” and “I’m not trying to fight you guys” during the video.
