After asking to speak to a supervisor about the incident, Ali claims, he was outside his cell later that day when Detention Officer Travis Lambert pointed a stun gun at him and told him to put his hands up.

After handcuffing him, Lambert raised Ali’s hands while they were behind his back, causing him to stumble and fall down stairs head first, only to be dragged back up the stairs by Lambert, Ali alleges.

“When Ali had been dragged approximately halfway up the stairs, another officer told Lambert to stop, saying they needed to take Ali to medical because he was hurt,” the appellate court wrote in a recap of Ali’s allegations.

Ali alleges that Lambert and the unnamed officer dragged him back down the stairs while he lay prone and was held by his arms, which were still handcuffed behind his back.

Ali alleges that Sgt. Gary Kaiser arrived next and dragged him to an exit while he shouted in pain.

When the exit gate opened, Ali alleges, the officers “made Ali stand up and forcefully pushed Ali’s handcuffed arms that were behind his back, in a way to hyperextend them above his head.”

After reaching the jail medical unit, Ali claims, Kaiser pushed one of Ali’s wrists upward in order to be crushed by the handcuffs.
