Five Connecticut police officers have been arrested and charged in connection with the transportation incident that left a man paralyzed from the chest down.
Five police officers have been arrested and charged in connection with the transportation incident that left a man paralyzed from the chest down, according to a Monday news release from the New Haven, Connecticut, State's Attorney's Office.
"According to the arrest warrant affidavits, the charges are the result of an investigation by the Connecticut State Police Central District Major Crime Squad," the release said, adding that State's Attorney John P. Doyle Jr. requested the squad to conduct a criminal investigation after being notified about Cox's injuries.
All five officers involved in the incident were released on $25,000 bond and are scheduled to appear in court Dec. 8, the release said. The offices were previously on administrative leave pending the outcome of an investigation. After Cox is processed at the jail, the video shows him appearing to slip partially off the seat of the wheelchair.
