London Jury Awards Corbin Man Millions
KENTUCKY....
A federal jury in U.S. District Court in London has ruled in favor of 27 year old Dalton Christopher Brewer of Corbin, awarding him $6.28 million for injuries he suffered when Whitley County volunteer sheriff's deputy Tony Ramey beat him with a pistol in June 2007. Investigators say Ramey's son had stolen a pistol from him to pay a drug debt. Ramey and his son went to Brewer's home to get the gun back. Brewer said he and Perry Ramey argued over the return of the gun, and Tony Ramey told Brewer he was under arrest, then smashed Brewer in the head several times with a pistol, knocking him unconscious, and then stomped and hit him.
Ramey says he hit Brewer with the gun only once as he defended his son during a fight with Brewer, and he tried to make a legitimate arrest. Brewer suffered problems, including seizures, impaired vision and post-traumatic stress disorder.
