SYRACUSE, N.Y. -- A Syracuse man has been awarded more than $1
million as a result of a police brutality claim against a State Trooper
from more than a decade ago.
The Syracuse Post-Standard is
reporting a state judge awarded David Reynolds, 48, the money after an
incident back in December 2001 that left him with serious injuries to
the head and back. The newspaper reports Reynolds was pulled over by
Trooper Thomas Connor in Wolcott in Wayne County during a traffic stop.
And according to the report, Connor handcuffed Reynolds, then slammed
his head into the back of his car eight or nine times.
The judge
found that the trooper committed assault and battery and said State
Police didn't investigate the police brutality complaint adequately.
