Florida man beaten by police
Quote:
A man involved in a Saturday incident at a Creighton Road trailer park says the scene did not unfold the way it is described in an Escambia County Sheriff’s Office report.
“I definitely got beat up,” Devon Walker said this morning. “The police beat me up. It was not the guys in the trailer,” Devon Walker explained.
According to the incident report, officers responded to an incident at Creighton Road Trailer Park. They reportedly arrived to find “two white males lying on the floor with blood on them and also a black male laying on the floor with blood on him—all inside the trailer.”
The report states that Burns identified himself as the owner of the trailer. He told officers he invited a group of people—including Walker and his wife—back to his place after a night of drinking at O’Reily’s Pub.
The report states that Burns told officers that an altercation broke out, in which Walker brandished a gun. A relative of Walker then reportedly attempted to “calm everything down,” taking the gun and leaving.
The report also states that McGuire attributed the altercation to an argument over a cell phone. However, the report states that Tiffany Walker, Devon’s wife, said the problem arose because Burns “wanted to have sex with a white female friend of hers and when she refused, he became belligerent, angry and started a fight.”
That is not the account of events the Walkers provided the IN with today.
“The sheriff department beat my husband up,” Tiffany Walker said.
Tiffany described a scene in which the couple was leaving the trailer after an argument over the cell phone erupted. Devon said that the owner of the trailer, Burns, was apologizing for the incident and that McGuire was using racial slurs and saying he had called the authorities.
“He told’em, ‘this is the guy, this is the N-word that robbed me,’” explained Tiffany, describing the scene as sheriff officers arrived.
Devon Walker—who denies having a gun—said the officers told Burns and McGuire to “go into the house and relax.” Then, he contends, they beat him up.
