Deputy Tips Disabled Inmate From Chair; 4 Suspended

TAMPA - TAMPA - A deputy roughly dumps a man out of a wheelchair and he tumbles to the floor.
Brian Sterner lands on his ribs, then rolls over and lies on his back while Hillsborough County Detention Deputy Charlette Marshall-Jones checks his pockets before she and another deputy clumsily put him back in the chair.
These moments were recorded by cameras on Jan. 29 in Orient Road Jail. The video has repulsed many and resulted in the suspension of Jones, a 44-year-old deputy with 22 years on the job, and her supervisors.

Sterner, 32, can drive a car but he hasn't been able to walk for 14 years.
He said he told Jones as much when he was booked into jail on a traffic-related charge.
She didn't believe him, he said.
Sheriff David Gee said was at a loss for words after viewing the video.
"This was not training issue," Gee said late Tuesday. "It's a human decency issue. I can't imagine any explanation she might have.
"It's like being a blackjack dealer in Vegas," the sheriff said of the surveillance system. "I put those cameras in there for a reason. They're to protect the deputies as much as the suspects who are brought in."
Deputies arrested Sterner, 32, on a warrant from Tampa police at his home in Riverview. He posted bail and was freed Feb. 3.
Gee said he was told by his staff that Jones has a good record and that there have been no similar complaints against her.
The sheriff is in Jacksonville at a Florida Sheriff's Association meeting, leaving Chief Deputy Jose Docobo in command.
After watching the tape on Monday, Docobo ordered Jones to be immediately suspended without pay, he said. Three of her supervisors who were visible on the tape were suspended with pay pending the outcome of an investigation.
"The actions are indefensible at every level," Docobo said. "Based on what I saw, anything short of dismissal would be inappropriate."
Sterner's attorney, John Trevena, said he wants Jones charged with felony battery and for her supervisors to be disciplined and to undergo mandatory retraining so that this kind of incident is not repeated.
Gee said he spoke to Trevena on early Tuesday evening and conveyed his feelings on the matter.
"I'm embarrassed professionally and personally," the sheriff said. "I can't offer an explanation."
An internal affairs investigation is reviewing the actions by Jones and the three supervisors: Cpl. Decondra Williams, 36, Cpl. Steve Dickey, 45, and Sgt. Gary Hinson, 51. Investigators had not interviewed the deputy or her supervisors, Docobo said.
No reports were filed about the incident, so investigators are trying to ascertain what the supervisors knew, Docobo said. Each of the three appears at various times on the video but none intervenes with Jones. Dickey walks into the frame from the side and appears smile as he walks away.
"That none of the supervisors acted upon what they saw is of great concern," Docobo said. "This is not the norm at the sheriff's office. It's an aberration."
Phone messages left for Jones and Hinson were not immediately returned. A number could not be found for Williams.
Dickey declined to comment on the investigation when reached by telephone. He is president of the Hillsborough detention deputies' chapter of the West Florida Police Benevolent Association, the union that represents deputies.
There are more than 30 other inmates in jail who use wheelchairs, and their special needs are nothing new to the department, Docobo said.
The sheriff's office has a policy to comply with the Americans with Disabilities Act. The policy also requires "an intake nurse to assess inmates upon admission for evidence of a disability or special management need."
Sterner has been without the use of his legs since a wrestling accident in 1994, he said. He has no feeling below his sternum and has partial use of his arms. Trevena says his client is classified as a quadriplegic.
Sterner has been a wheelchair rugby player and has a master's degree in philosophy from Gonzaga University in Spokane, Wash. He was director for the Florida Spinal Cord Injury Resource Center for about four years until 2006, he said.
In January, he was laid off from a job selling wheelchair vans, Sterner said.
He drives a Mini Cooper outfitted with hand controls. On Oct. 25, Tampa police ticketed him, saying he blocked an intersection, court records show. He later was charged with a third-degree felony of fleeing to elude an officer in connection with the same incident.
Trevena called the felony charge questionable.
"He made no attempt to evade," Trevena said. "He made one turn and stopped."
On Jan. 12, Sterner was ticketed again. The citation says he was driving with a suspended license without knowledge, meaning he didn't know his license was suspended, Trevena said. He wasn't arrested at the time because the felony warrant had not been filed.
A deputy arrived at his Riverview home on Jan. 29 to serve the warrant.
Sterner was brought into the booking room in a wheelchair owned by the jail. Jones ordered him to stand, Sterner said. He told her he couldn't.
"She was irked that I wasn't complying to what she was telling me to do," he said. "It didn't register with her that she was asking me to do something I can't do."
Sterner said he thought he'd suffered two cracked ribs, but it turned out to be bruising, Trevena said. An X-ray showed no fractures.
Jones offered no apologies, Sterner said. "Not one word."
He was released from jail five days later after posting $2,000 bail, records show.
Sterner said his stay was made even more humiliating when he had a bowel accident and was left to sit in his waste for three or four hours until a staff member helped him clean up.
Sterner will make appearances today on NBC's "Today" show, CNN and the syndicated news magazine "Inside Edition" to talk about the treatment he received, Trevena said.
Trevena said the sheriff's office "seems to be headed in the right direction" by offering an apology for Jones' actions but that his client deserves more.
"When she's arrested, then I'll believe they're serious about it," he said.

How does one really go about arresting a quadriplegic? Do you handcuff them? What are the procedures? Would handcuffing him to the chair have been any better?? Not condemning and not condoning...just curious.

Well mrjadams, I am not an officer and I do not know the correct procedure for arresting a quadriplegic however, I highly doubt that dumping the "suspect" out of his chair is protocall, but that is just a guess.

From the above link: "Brian Sterner broke his neck almost 14 years ago and is a quadriplegic.
Sterner, who can drive, was arrested on a traffic violation."
How does that work?
C'mon TBO, do we have to go to other news sites to get the scoop?

What a bunch of animals. I would hope Mrs. Jones is dealt with accordingly as well as the POS cop who thought it was funny and provided no help to the victim. What a disgrace. The worst part is that this barbaric behavior happens on a daily basis. This just happen to be caught on tape. The cop should be charged with aggravated assault on the disabled which is a felony. There is no way this cop should not be in jail.

SuicideRisk, I disagree with part of your post. I really don't think it was a racial thing. I think it's an example of something all to common, officers being overzealous because they can (and their fellow officers won't report it...it's just funny). She would have probably treated a black person the same way...she had power over that person.
However, I must unfortunately agree that were the races reversed, Jesse Jackson would probably already be on a plane headed for Tampa. And in that case, it wouldn't be a racial thing either...just an officer abusing their power, but the card would certainly get played, and ultimately that would be the story, and nothing would happen to make HSO any better.
Sad but true.

It’s the police like her that give all police a bad name. And why would you just suspend someone when the evidence is in black and white. As for the police that stood around with out helping, suspended with pay is not good and they deserve to be fired as well. THERE IS NO EXCUSES FOR POEPLE LIKE THEM TO HAVE JOBS LIKE THAT. This is one good reason the police don’t get the support and respect from the public. They are supposed to protect us and serve us in stead they are abusing us. The police have too much power that goes to their heads. Just because you have a badge does not mean you can abuse your authority.

a lot of cops are POS. they have a big chip on the shoulder and like to take it out on the weak...especially the butt-ugly females who are bitter against the world.

Also since when is it OK for a female officer to frisk a male. If it was the other way around all He** would break loose. Why not now. She should have multiple charges.

Dobefan, I will find out if you are a LEO if you are you shouldn't be here on this forum. If your not your in even bigger trouble for impersonating one. My guess is your not, if you are I am scared for our future.

To all the above cop bashers who feel LEOs are all pieces of crap...please don't call us when your next door neighbor is shooting your tires out. We will be on our donut break! :)
I don't think I'll have to I defend myself and family pretty good against all who come against us and especially BAD COPS and BAD Police Work. You are an worthless Cop and your have failed your own training dobefan so you should resign from being a cop. Many more people need video when a cop pulls them over because it is the only witness that will protect them when its up against the Blue law...OBD

These officers were the same ones in high school that got the shizit kicked out of them and thought a badge makes them somebody now! Punks! No better than thugs on the street!

This kind of trainning they should have got at home. It's called common sense and humanity. A slap on the wrist and back on the job in no time. They will all be yucking it up after the heat settles. CLASS-LESS!

Well dobefan I really don't care if it standard operating procedure. It's wrong. and who wrote the sop book and when was the last time it was reviewed. There again is the serious IGNORANCE of some people. Tell me one reason why thats Ok. There isn't one.

If I could handle situations that happen in my neighborhood w/o fear of one your bad apples (not you) coming to arrest me, My neighborhood would be the safest in Florida. I'll put my trainning up against any of the wanna be cops. I did not say real cops, I said wanna be cops with a badge. I do not own a weapon for a reason!

Having had to deal with these deputy's personally and know first hand what idiots they can be All in involved need to be fired and charged with a felony. I work for a attorney's office and I'm going to check and see if one will help out and file a suit against these moron's that work at the jail. Basically the workers at the jail are washouts who are too scared to work the sreets. IDIOTS!!!!!

I just saw the video. Just sickening. These detectives had no right to do this. He was dumped out of his wheelchair. I have alot of respect for cops and, I have friends who are cops. But to abuse their authority by treating people in this manner is a disgrace and they bring shame to their badge.
