From [HERE] and [HERE] An honor student from The Ohio State University plans to fight a series of misdemeanor charges against him after his attorney tells ABC6/FOX28 the arresting officers used excessive force. Joseph Hines, 20, was charged with resisting arrest and underage drinking among other charges August 30th after police stopped him at High Street and East 13th Avenue just before midnight. According court documents, police say Hines "pulled away from them and attempted to flee." They also wrote, Hines "fought on the ground causing cuts" to the arresting officer's legs and hands.
According the the Fraternal Order of Police, the arresting officers admitted to using force in arresting Hines by taking him to the ground and spraying him with mace. Officers with internal affairs said they're also investigating the incident but would not comment further. Now students want to know why they weren't notified to what they're calling police brutality by the university.
