51 year old Eugene Gruber was reported drunk, hostile and uncooperative after his arrest on disorderly conduct and trespassing charges, when he was taken into the Lake County, Chicago area jail on October 31, 2011. The following day he was paralyzed, with a broken neck and barely registering pulse. He complained for hours that he couldn’t move his legs but paramedics were not called until the next morning. He has never recovered from his injuries and died 4 months later at a Chicago rehabilitation hospital.
In their daily report, officers handling Eugene Gruber mentioned that they pepper-sprayed him because he was combative and threatened violence against guards. What they didn’t mention is that a physical altercation involving an officer taking Eugene Gruber down with a neck twisting maneuver took place inside the cell with no cameras where the alleged pepper-spraying took place. After that, the paralyzed inmate was dragged around the jail like a sack of potatoes.
The Chicago state’s attorney’s office initially declined to press charges, alleging that they found no evidence of criminal intent. But then the video leaked and in it you can see quite clearly the officer get him in a choke hold and lift him up. 187!
