Who is Officer Hjort?
Who is Brian Silverman?
Who is Brady Smith?
Who is Sergeant Myers?
Sergeant William Alan Myers, a 13 year employee of the Champaign County Sheriff’s Office, has been charged with aggravated battery in the use of a Taser gun on Ray Hsieh, a homeless Southeast Asian man, and with obstruction of justice for lying to his supervisor about the incident. Investigation into his case has turned up at least 3 other situations where Sgt. Myers has tased inmates under suspicious circumstances.
1.A 21 year-old who was arrested outside the Canopy Club for arguing with a bouncer. While in an empty cell, fully restrained, and wearing an Abu Ghraib-style “spit hood,” he was tased by Sgt. Myers.
2.Another inmate was tased twice for arguing with another inmate who changed the TV channel.
3.The most disturbing story is of an African American woman who was one month pregnant when she was tased by Sgt. Myers. The woman claims she was requesting to attend church services when Myers pushed her into her cell and “The next thing I know, I'm being tased.” She claims so startled that she “pissed herself.” Another officer who was interviewed claimed the taser did not need to be used.
