The lawyer explained: “Terrified and humiliated, she’s banging on the door asking someone to give her her clothing and someone comes to the door and says, ‘If you don’t shut up, I’m going to pepper spray you,’ and sure enough, they open the door, spray pepper spray into the room and they leave — and they leave her in there for 40 minutes, naked, in a cell filled with pepper spray.”
After 40 minutes of suffering the effects of caustic chemicals in her eyes and on her body, she was finally handcuffed and taken to wash out her eyes, Landenwich said. Again, her naked body was exposed to others.
“She has a blanket draped over her shoulders, she’s paraded through the booking area in full view of anyone who happened to be there,” Landenwich said.
After washing, she was again thrown naked into solitary confinement for an additional 5 hours.
The woman sat in jail nude from 4:14 a.m. until 10:58 a.m., the video confirms.
Gentry intends to sue the jail, citing excessive force and humiliating and unnecessary procedures that appear to be standard practice.
