A Miami-area officer has been charged with felony battery and official misconduct after video showed him pushing an inmate head-first into a concrete wall, after which he allegedly lied about the incident in his report.
In the video, a shirtless, handcuffed Garcia was led into the station by the arresting officers before Brown took hold of him without incident, the arresting officers trailing behind them as they walked into the booking room. Within seconds, Brown pushes Garcia, who hits the head on the wall and falls to the ground, blood trickling down the left side of his face and onto his torso.
Story continuesThe investigation and surveillance video contradicts Brown's statement of events from that night, Rundle said, adding that there is"no question" that Brown's actions"resulted in the injury of Mr. Garcia." Brown’s defense attorney, C. Michael Cornely, told the Miami Herald that his client was justified in pushing the inmate because the man was drunk, unruly and appeared to be about to attack. “From the get-go, he was uncooperative,” Cornely told the Herald. “I think the case is totally overcharged.”
Rolle condemned Brown's alleged actions, stating that the department is"not gonna tolerate this kind of behavior."
