Was excessive force used is this case? You decide. [View all]

DAYTON, Ohio (WDTN) – A woman claims she was knocked unconscious at the Montgomery County Jail by an officer.

Was excessive force used is this case? You decide.

But Bly and the Montgomery County Sheriff’s office don’t agree on what happened.

All the incident reports given by the officers involved, said Evans, “vaulted herself off the wall”

“Non of the records indicate that she was picked up by a sheriffs deputy and body slammed head first into the concrete floor.”
