The sheriff's deputies allegedly beat up handcuffed arrestees, discouraged officers from turning on their body cameras and called their behavior 'the Grundy County way.'
Tony Bean, 59, faces four counts of deprivation of rights under color of law, while T.J. Bean, 29, faces one count of the same charge. Prosecutors say the charges stem from two alleged assaults — one committed by the father while he was chief of the Tracy City Police Department in 2014, the other committed by father and son while working for the Grundy County Sheriff's Office in 2017.
After the man was handcuffed and placed in a cruiser, witnesses said T.J. Bean opened the door, chastised him for hitting"daddy" and repeatedly punched him in the face while he was"seated, handcuffed and compliant," the motion states. On July 30, 2017, Tony Bean went with other officers, including T.J. Bean, to arrest a man in his home. Tony Bean told at least one other officer not to turn on his body camera because he planned a"tune-up." When the man tried to run, Tony Bean punched him"unnecessarily." Part of the arrest was captured by a body camera.
