Very few things get documented. This man, Dennis Quinette, just wanted to make a phone call on his way back from court, where a just set a bond in his misdemeanor case. He tried to talk to the Gaurd [Reed] when he allowed another inmate to enter the transport holding area, and the Gaurd closed the door, then opened it to shove Quinette to the concrete floor breaking is hip. Notice the first thing the guard try to do was assert a defense, "You rushed me...yes you did yes you did". If Dennis were to say recover from shock and disorientation, that would be the first thing he was told and perhaps believe.

According to the order on the rule 24. Reed had a history of other abuses.

There, according to the Plaintiff, an inmate with a colostomy bag accused Reed of using excessive force by twisting the inmate's waist cuffs so that his colostomy bag ruptured. There was no video recording or eyewitness of this alleged incident. This allegation was determined to be unfounded, and no disciplinary action was taken against Reed.

There, Reed was booking an inmate into the Detention Center when the inmate made a comment that angered Reed. The inmate at that time was restrained in waist chain cuffs. Reed, angered by the comment, slammed the restrained inmate's face onto the floor. The inmate was sent to the hospital and received stitches. This incident was recorded on video.

Next, the Plaintiff alleges that in 2009 the Command Staff Defendants conducted another internal investigation into the use of excessive force by Reed. This investigation resulted from an incident where Reed attempted to "slam" a restrained inmate to the ground with a headlock, while that inmate was chained to a group of other inmates. Reed was angry at the inmate for cursing at him. Reed, by slamming the inmate to the ground, pulled the entire group of inmates back and forth. It was ultimately determined that Reed used excessive force.

And, in May 2015, Reed was once again the subject of an internal affairs investigation. This investigation involved allegations of favoritism toward inmates and violations of department policy. Specifically, Reed allowed segregation inmates to remain outside of segregation longer than Detention Center policy allowed, and also allowed a favored inmate out of his cell in violation of Detention Center policy. These actions resulted in a fight between segregation inmates.

The Plaintiff alleges that a number of other internal affairs investigations into Reed's conduct were conducted over the course of his employment.
