If it was an apple he'd be dead now. Story out of Atlanta, Georgia:
A local man said an off-duty police officer working security for Walmart severely beat him after he was falsely accused of stealing a tomato.
After he was handcuffed to his hospital bed with a broken leg and severed artery, Tyrone Carnegay told Channel 2’s Craig Lucie he spent three days in jail and the charges were dropped.
In security video the officer is seen confronting Carnegay as he is walking out of the store.
The officer is then seen suddenly pulling out his baton and then beating Carnegay for stealing a tomato, which he said he paid for.
He said the officer never asked for a receipt or told him why he was questioning him.
Doctors said the repeated blows cracked two bones in Carnegay’s right leg and ruptured an artery.
According to a lawsuit Lucie obtained, the Walmart manager told the officer that Carnegay stole a tomato in the October 2014 incident.
Carnegay said after he was on the ground in handcuffs, the officer reached into his pocket found his receipt, which he said showed he paid for the tomato.
His attorney said this could have been avoided with one question. Cont. (Video/Autoplay)
