Cleveland City Councilman Kevin Conwell pulled from consideration a piece of legislation that would have authorized the creation of a special tax district to generate additional funding for UCPD.
CLEVELAND — In response to a News 5 investigation last week that raised questions about three University Circle police officers’ use of force on a mentally ill woman last May, Cleveland City Councilman Kevin Conwell pulled from consideration on Monday a piece of legislation that would have authorized the creation of a special tax district designed to generate additional funding for UCPD.
Three officers eventually responded to the cemetery. Roughly 78 seconds into one of the officers’ body camera videos, another officer can be heard saying, “this is going to take a while… she’s committing a crime. We could just go hands-on and just do a whole use of force thing.” According to the body camera video, Wilson’s turn prompted the officers to go"hands-on" with her. The tussle eventually led to the officers forcibly taking her into custody. In the process of doing so, however, Wilson fell hard on her arm, breaking it. Wilson required hospitalization and a metal rod inserted into her arm.
Right after she was taken into custody, the officers took Wilson to the hospital for treatment. The body camera videos showed officers again discussing the incident.“Yes,” said another officer.Wilson was eventually charged with two misdemeanors. She pleaded guilty to trespassing and no contest to resisting arrest.
“I cried. When I saw it, I cried,” Conwell said. “This is horrible, so I had the legislation tabled. I talked with the Council president and we tabled the legislation.”
