RAW Bodycam Footage: Man bitten by K-9 Sues MCSO for Torture – Everything Law and Order Blog

** (Disclaimer: This video content is intended for educational and informational purposes only) **
A tubing trip at the Salt River last year ended with a Phoenix man arrested and bitten by a K-9. Now, the man has filed a multi-million dollar lawsuit against the Maricopa County Sheriff’s Office for excessive force and misconduct. Shane McGough, 27, claims deputies allowed the dog to torture him while he was handcuffed, with the incident captured on camera McGough said it all began as he and his friends were about to leave the Salt River. There was an argument in the parking lot over a car accident, and MCSO deputies got involved. McGough was taken into custody, and later, while he was in a holding cell, bitten by a k-9. “It’s just unfathomable because I was handcuffed, defenseless, pinned down,” said McGough. McGough calls the incident “torture”, and bodycam video of the incident was captured inside a holding cell. Earlier, there was a confrontation between McGough and MCSO deputies. “He grabs my throat, and I’m pinned up against the car there,” said McGough. “It was just a reaction. I didn’t think once I realized I can’t breathe, I reacted and punched him in the face.” The second deputy joined the scuffle, and was seriously injured. McGough was handcuffed and taken into custody. McGough admits he was verbally aggressive, but denies being violent. He ended up taking a plea deal and went to jail for aggravated assault.

“I have taken responsibility on my end. I did six months in jail. I have a felony conviction, but never has the Sheriff’s Office said, ‘we’re sorry. This shouldn’t have happened,'” said McGough. Maricopa County Sheriff Paul Penzone described McGough’s actions as “extremely violent”. He says one deputy suffered a broken leg and broken ribs during the fight with McGough, and may not be able to continue his career as a deputy. “I met with that deputy several times. To see where he is mentally and physically disgusts me,” said Penzone. “I am always set back when we have to use force, but I will defend the force when it’s necessary to use.” McGough claims he graduated from Arizona State University two years ago with a degree in Business Communications. He was fired from his job after the incident, and says his felony conviction is keeping him from working in his career choice. Meanwhile, an internal investigation into the deputies’ use of force is ongoing, and Sheriff Penzone says he will hold deputies accountable, if it’s determined the actions were indeed excessive.

The K9 officer that deployed his K9 filed a report on the incident, which reads in part:
“During the escort, I verbally advised McGough to comply with the deputy and if he fought, he would get bit by the canine. We were able to enter the jail portion of Blue Point and into an open and empty jail cell. While in the cell, McGough continued to resist as Deputy Jackson was attempting to remove the handcuffs, which McGough had slipped to the front of his body from the position previously secured behind his back when he was placed into the patrol vehicle for transport. McGough began lunging at Deputy Jackson and was physically fighting, including kicking Officer K. Fleming from the US Forest Service. The fight went to the ground and I deployed Canine Shadow on a placement bite on McGough’s upper rear portion of his right leg. McGough was still actively resisting and fighting. McGough was also kicking me while the canine was on the bite. The canine bite altered McGough’s behavior and he even stated he would stop fighting if we removed the dog. When it was safe to do so, I removed Canine Shadow from the bite using a tactical out method.”

  1. tyrent in the cell needs to be fired for not moving out of the room and for biting a handcuffed suspect, he should be in control of his weapon at all times… shut the dog up and get the fuck out of the room, i going to check in to this and make sure everyone of these gun toting humans are fired from their public jobs.

  2. every one of these "officers" should be tied to the back of a pick up and dragged through a field of glass and salt. what a fucking shit show.

  3. Frankly, the barking of the K9 jacked that whole situation to the next level. That probably CAUSED the aggressive posture of everyone there.

  4. 🖕🏻🖕🏻🖕🏻🖕🏻🖕🏻🖕🏻🖕🏻🖕🏻🖕🏻🖕🏻🖕🏻🖕🏻🖕🏻🖕🏻🖕🏻🖕🏻🖕🏻🖕🏻🖕🏻🖕🏻🖕🏻

  5. I hope this man is a millionaire by now. Horrible actions by the police and correctional officers. All should be fired.

  6. you guys clearly didn’t pay attention to the fact that he broke a deputy’s leg and his ribs to the point where he couldn’t continue with career.

  7. Y'all need to learn how to read the description, the events prior to the footage are what dictated the officers actions, this suspect just got done violently beating up a LEO (the reason he was arrested) and then he wants to play games with the arresting officers by moving his cuffs to the front, and "Why am I being arrested" not sure if this man was drinking all day or what but cops don't have time for this shit, he could have easily cooperated and avoided LITERALLY all of this. What a waste of human resources smdh

  8. We must remember that these corrections officers were the kids who got all C’s in high school. They are bad people who hate themselves and get a heightened sense of extreme enjoyment from these types of situations. They are secretly hoping people “misbehave.” And for the love of God, why didn’t any of these ass hats not tell him why he was being arrested???? Sue the hell out of them!!!!!
