A Denver sheriff deputy broke a man’s wrist with nunchucks during a fight while the man was being admitted to the downtown jail, Denver Department of Public Safety documents show.
Deputy Daniel Rodriguez will serve a three-day suspension for using excessive force on the man, who was intoxicated and fighting with deputies. Another seven days of suspension will be held in abeyance, meaning Rodriguez will serve those days if he breaks department policy again in the next year.
Rodriguez used the nunchucks on the inmate — identified by the initials SP in the disciplinary letter — as the man was being admitted to the jail. Rodriguez used his nunchucks on the man’s right arm, and another deputy used his on both of the man’s feet. The man was transported to Denver Health, where he was treated for a damaged artery and underwent emergency surgery for the broken arm. He tested positive for a variety of drugs.
