TAMPA, Fla. -- Four Hillsborough County sheriff's deputies were suspended after authorities said they purposely tipped a quadriplegic man out of his wheelchair at a jail.
Orient Road Jail surveillance footage from Jan. 29 showed veteran deputy Charlette Marshall-Jones dumping Brian Sterner out of his wheelchair and searching him on the floor after he was brought in on a warrant after a traffic violation.
Sterner said when he was taken into a booking room and told to stand up, Jones grew agitated when he told her that he could not.

Jones was suspended without pay. Three other deputies were also placed on administrative leave pending an investigation.
Chief Deputy Jose Docobo said the officers' actions were an aberration. Sterner's lawyer said he hopes authorities investigate the deputies for criminal charges.

Turns out they broke two of his ribs by dumping him out like that. I don't even know what to say.
