Elderly Man Alleges Police Brutality | Lexington News

An 84-year-old man claims he was brutally beaten by Lancaster police during an arrest tied to a property dispute, suffering three broken vertebrae and possible arm damage requiring skin grafts. Officers charged him with resisting arrest, but his attorney is pushing for criminal charges against them—especially as the department lacks body cameras, raising concerns about accountability. Three officers are on administrative leave while an investigation unfolds. The mayor says complaints are taken seriously, but one officer also faces a separate civil suit alleging wrongful arrest and misuse of resources. Maples’ arraignment is set for October 12th, and his lawyer plans to file a civil case within 30 days. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
