State Police And Manchin Investigating Officer Complaint
WEST VIRGINIA....
West Virginia State Police and the office of Gov. Joe Manchin are investigating Princeton Police Officer 23-year-old Christopher Winkler's claim that he was beaten unconscious by two instructors during training at the West Virginia State Police Academy in Institute. Winkler says he nearly died of a blood clot in his brain after the April 5th incident. Winkler's mother, Pamela McPeak, says an instructor told her that he pulled two other instructors off Winkler when they continued to beat him while he was unconscious. State Police Maj. K.J. Foreman confirmed Winkler was injured during training and spent three days in the hospital, but said witnesses were interviewed and none said Winkler was abused.
