| Man claims he was assaulted by VA policeman Whit Johnson A Utah man claims he was beaten and wrongfully jailed by a VA hospital policeman while walking through a parking lot at the George E. Wahlen Department of Veterans Affairs Medical Center following the BYU-Utah football game Saturday night. Video Courtesy of KSL.com The alleged victim, Greg Davis, says a doctor's visit determined he's suffering from multiple cuts and bruises, possible nerve and liver damage, as well as a fractured wrist. Now, he says he's planning to take legal action. "I feel like I can't trust any police after that happened to me," Davis said. (ARTICLE CONTINUES BELOW)
He and his fiancée were on their way to meet up with their ride home when they were approached by VA police in the parking lot. "They said, initially, they saw me stumbling," Davis' fiancée, Clacie Lawrence, said. Davis and Lawrence admitted to the officers that they had been drinking hours earlier, but insisted they weren't intoxicated. Davis was then asked by an officer to face the fence. "All of a sudden, you know, I can't see this coming, and he just comes up and beats me in the back of the neck, grabbing my arms, kicking me and kneeing me in my back," Davis said. |
