In this case, the State Trooper was NOT in the wrong. Dash cam video proves Eugene Lewis was not beaten but, faked a seizure and most definitely resisted arrest.
"On Aug. 5, Mississippi Highway Patrol State Trooper Hayden Falvey made a traffic stop on Delaware Avenue in McComb on a vehicle traveling at high speeds.
According to DPS, Falvey chased Lewis, stopping him on Schmidt Road. While approaching Lewis’ vehicle, Falvey smelled a strong aroma of burnt marijuana coming from the vehicle, and when he got to the vehicle, he noticed Lewis’ eyes were bloodshot and had a strong odor of burnt marijuana on his breath. It was determined at the time that Lewis’ driver’s license was suspended and that he was driving without insurance.
Lewis admitted to Falvey that there may have been a joint, or “roach,” in his vehicle [0:55], as well as admitted to smoking marijuana about 45 minutes to an hour before the traffic stop [1:10].
Falvey would place Lewis in handcuffs after developing probable cause that Lewis was driving his vehicle under the influence and may have illegal narcotics, and he began a search of the vehicle [2:10]."
