NEW HAVEN, Conn. — Five New Haven police officers were arrested and charged over their alleged involvement in an incident that left a Black man paralyzed earlier this year while in police custody, prosecutors announced Monday.
Officers Oscar Diaz, Jocelyn Lavandier, Ronald Pressley, Luis Rivera and Sgt. Betsy Segui were charged with reckless endangerment in the second degree and cruelty to persons, according to New Haven's state attorney John P. Doyle, Jr.The charges stem from an alleged incident involving a New Haven, Connecticut man, Randy Cox, 36, on June 19.
Surveillance video of Cox's arrest showed officers placing him in the back of a police van that didn't have any seatbelts. According to New Haven police, Cox did not receive immediate medical attention at the time of the incident. "We think that there is no value that can replace the damages and the hurt and the harm and the mental anguish and the torture that he's endured every day, every hour, every minute, every second, every second of his life," Crump said in a news conference in September announcing the lawsuit."We did not have to file this lawsuit to tell you why the city needs to do the right thing.
