Also present for portions of this incident were Deputy C. Marks/2523, Sergeant G. Dyer/2140 and
Deputy V. Sims/2503, each of whom completed supplemental reports documenting their actions
during this incident.
Supplemental reports were also filed by Deputy N. Clark/2460, Deputy Craig/854, and Sergeant
R. Fields/2526. It is apparent from their reports that they did not witness the actual incident, rather
they responded to the cell during the incident, arriving after the altercation was over.
There is a case of police misconduct at my blog if you'd care to read it.
