Brian Sterner was arrested on a traffic violation and taken to Orient Road Jail in Tampa, Florida, by Deputy Charlette Jones. Thing is, Sterner is a quadriplegic and, although he can drive, he needs a wheelchair to get about. It seems that Deputy Jones didn't believe it possible for a quadriplegic to drive a car so, when she saw Sterner in his wheelchair, she walked behind him and took hold of the handles, and tipped him out.

Then, to rub salt into the wound, while Sterner was on the floor, deputies frisked him.

Understandably, Jones has been suspended without pay. The report goes on to say "she has not been officially terminated." Well, I should hope not - what she did was despicable, but the death sentence is a bit OTT!

Sterner says it's incredibly degrading and it’s an example of how poorly trained the Hillsborough Sheriff's Office is. He adds, if they’re trying to figure out if somebody needs to be in a wheelchair or not, there are many other ways to do it than to dump somebody on their face.

Quite. Don't try this at home, kids.
