A Video Shows Ohio Officers Dragging a Black Paraplegic Man by His Hair and Arms
A Black paraplegic man from Ohio has filed a complaint with the NAACP after body camera video showed police officers pulling him out of his car by his hair and arms after he refused officers’ orders during a traffic stop late last month.
Officers said they pulled Owensby over because he was seen leaving a suspected drug house police were monitoring.
Owensby accused the Dayton Police Department (DPD) of profiling, unlawful arrest, illegal search and seizure, and failure to read him his rights before being taken to jail, Dayton Unit NAACP President Derrick Foward said at the news conference.
