Cox was arrested after police accused him of carrying a handgun, though the charges against him were later dropped.
Five Connecticut cops were hit with criminal charges Monday for allegedly paralyzing a black man from the chest down during a ride in the back of a police van, authorities said.
Cox, who was being processed on a weapons charge, called out for help and said he could not move from the floor, according to video and officials. Officer Oscar Diaz, the driver of the van and one of the five charged, at one point stopped the vehicle and checked on Cox, police said. But when he called paramedics, he told them to meet at the station instead of where the van was stopped, police said.New Haven Police Department
When Cox said he thought he cracked his neck, Sgt. Betsy Segui, who was also charged, replied, “you didn’t crack it, no, you drank too much … sit up.”
