Police Beat Old Woman Caught On Cop Body Camera

Sheila Chester, 59, of Evansville, IN, was sitting in her car when another driver sideswiped her. In what should've been a simple case of an exchange of insurance information when the officer arrived quickly escalated into a case of police brutality on Chester's behalf.

Chester allegedly provided an outdated insurance card to the officer and recited the name that she goes by rather than the name that's on her driver's license. When she attempted to give the officer multiple other documents -- that still didn't include a current insurance card -- the officer yelled at her to return to her vehicle while he wrote her a ticket. Chester questioned the ticket -- rather loudly -- and things went downhill.

The officer opened his door, hitting Chester in the mouth. He pushed her, tasered her, and tried to cuff her. Four more officers arrived on the scene.

The officer also threw Chester onto the ground and knelt on her neck. Another officer wiped mud on her back.

Witnesses say the officer tasered Chester up to six times. Chester was arrested and charged with disorderly conduct and resisting law enforcement. Police claim justifiable force based on the body cam video.

Police Killing of Denzel Curnell

Charleston Police Department released an incident report today for the shooting death of 19-year-old Denzel "JaBa" Curnell, who died of a gunshot wound he received Friday night at the Bridgeview Village apartment complex.

Witnesses from the neighborhood have said that Curnell was shot by a police officer while kneeling, but the incident report does not state who fired the shots. According to the report, on Fri. June 20 at 10:32 p.m., Officer R.P. Marotta was on patrol in the area of King and Huger streets when Officer J. Medlin requested assistance in reference to shots fired. The report states that Medlin was working a uniformed off-duty assignment at the Bridgeview apartments at the time of the incident.

"Officer Medlin advised that shots had been fired and that a subject was down near building 127 N. Romney St.," the report states. "Officer Medlin further advised that a large crowd was gathering and he needed additional units for crowd control."

Upon arriving at the scene, Officer Marotta writes that Officer Medlin was seen standing on the left side of his police cruiser with an unknown black male lying face down and unresponsive in the street in front of the cruiser. The report notes that a firearm was taken from the scene as evidence, but the report does not say whose gun it was, and the make and model have been redacted.

According to the Post and Courier, CPD officers began collecting forensic evidence at the scene after the shooting rather than calling in agents from the State Law Enforcement Division (SLED). A spokesman for the state agency said that calling in SLED would have been "a fairly standard practice" for an officer-involved shooting, according to the P&C.
