Trooper Ronald Davis claimed the woman exhibited signs that she was going to harm herself, police said. He allegedly assaulted her while trying to serve the warrant.
JONESTOWN, Pa. — A Pennsylvania State Police Trooper has been charged with multiple offenses, including strangulation and unlawful restraint, after he allegedly served a female acquaintance with an Involuntary Mental Health Commitment, claiming she had told him she was going to harm herself.
The investigation of the incident determined that the victim was not suicidal, and that she and Davis had been in a relationship that had ended the weekend before he received the Involuntary Mental Health Commitment. Davis allegedly did not disclose the personal nature of his relationship with the victim when he told the other troopers he believed she was going to harm herself, the investigation claims.
When Davis found the victim, the civilian began recording the encounter at Davis' request, police said. The recording allegedly shows Davis assaulting the woman as he attempted to restrain her. The woman is heard expressing confusion over why she was being restrained and stating that she couldn't breathe several times over the course of the confrontation.
The troopers documented several injuries observed on the woman, including multiple bruises and other injuries consistent with an assault.
