Lufkin, TX — A couple’s verbal dispute over a parking space turned into a nightmare after a call was made to 911 to settle it. When police showed up, the man involved in the dispute, Mark Anthony Smith, 48, was savagely beaten by three deputies who all used their rifles to inflict serious injury. He was then falsely charged and thrown in a cage.
Four months later, and the three Angelina County Sheriff’s Office deputies involved the beating and false arrest of Smith have not been charged and instead given paid administrative leave, otherwise known as a paid vacation.
Deputies Brandon Rainwater, Rodney Nash and Tyler Due arrested Smith on April 4. Video from that day is graphic and shows the horrid abuse faced by Smith despite committing no crime.
The video reportedly saved Smith from spending decades in prison after it showed that cops were the aggressors and Smith was an innocent victim.
Smith was originally charged on four felony charges of assault on a peace officer, resisting arrest/search/transport, unlawful restraint and disarming or attempting to disarm a police officer. But once the grand jury reviewed the evidence, they issued a “no bill” meaning there was no evidence to support the claims by prosecutors and police in charging Smith with a crime.
Despite the charges being dropped against Smith, the apparently corrupt sheriff, Greg Sanches, stood by his officers and justified their near-deadly assault.........read and watch more.........
