Two Danville men are suing the West Virginia State Police over beatings in separate incidents they say occurred in the Logan detachment while both men were handcuffed and shackled to the floor.
According to two lawsuits filed Wednesday by Charleston attorney Mark French, troopers detained Donald Bradley and William Ball following traffic stops on March 15 and March 22, respectively.
The lawsuits identify the troopers only by their last names. Troopers Wellman, Simmons and Williams, plus one identified as “John Doe” are accused of assaulting Bradley, while troopers Wellman, Simmons, Moore and “John Doe” are accused of beating Ball.
State Police superintendent Col. David Lemmon and the State Police also are named as defendants in both lawsuits.
