Muscogee County Jail inmate tased, beaten by deputies

Body cam footage from deputies in the Muscogee County Jail shows a former inmate beaten and tased multiple times in June of 2016.

Cortney Jackson, the former inmate, is now suing the city of Columbus for deprivation of his rights and excessive force according to his attorney.

His attorney says Jackson endured several injuries as a result of the beating and was sent to the emergency room at Midtown Medical Center.

We reached out to former Muscogee County Sheriff John Darr and he did not wish to offer a comment on the lawsuit.
