Five New Haven police officers turned themselves in to state police for their involvement in paralyzing Richard “Randy” Cox, who was transported to a detention facility when one of the officers hit the brakes, sending Cox head-first into the front of the rear compartment, Ed Stannard reports for Hartford Courant.
The officers were charged with felony cruelty to persons and a misdemeanor charge of second-degree reckless endangerment, according to state police. Cox’s lawyers filed a $100 million lawsuit in U.S. District Court against the city of New Haven and the five officers involved in transporting him in September.
