Two more people have filed lawsuits against the Williamson County Sheriff s Department claiming deputies used excessive force during a traffic stop and arrest.
One lawsuit filed Tuesday on behalf of Midland resident Ramsey Mitchell claims deputies assaulted Mitchell in June 2019 following a traffic stop for not having a front license plate.
A statement from Mitchell’s attorneys said he was punched, kicked and tased by deputies multiple times, and that he was put in a chokehold before being rendered unconscious. The incident was captured on camera for the now-canceled reality television show “Live PD.”
“Ramsey suffered a fractured eye socket requiring reconstructive surgery, fractured jaw, fractured nose, concussion, two broken teeth, two damaged vertebrae in his spine, torn elbow ligament, and a busted ear drum,” the statement said.
