A Montgomery doctor filed a federal lawsuit against two Tri-State police agencies claiming they used excessive force, shocking him multiple times in December 2012.”Somebody grabbed me around the neck, they body slammed me then multiple people got on top of me then I started getting Tased,” said Dr. Randal Cox.Cox claims he was arrested at his home during a birthday party for his 18-year-old son who had terminal brain cancer, and died a few months later.“He was devastated,” Cox said, “For something like that to happen to me then get whisked away in handcuffs.”Watch this storyCox can be seen in cellphone video after being shocked saying, “I can’t breathe, I can’t breathe.”Cox said he had no idea why police had come to his door.“I thought initially since we were having a birthday party some of the kids had parked in somebody’s yard,” Cox said.Police from both Blue Ash and Evendale are named in a federal lawsuit claiming six officers used excessive force.Cox said he was shocked repeatedly. He said he had to hospitalized because he suffered a heart attack and kidney failure in the incident.Cox was taken to jail and charged with resisting arrest.Police came to the Cox home with a warrant. It was sworn out by an ex-girlfriend who claimed Cox violated a restraining order. The woman said Cox harassed her at a gas station.Eventually, the case went to court. Defense attorneys found security video at the gas station showing the woman, but Cox was not there. In fact, at the time he was seen on security cameras at a cellphone store.“Because we presented evidence clearly indicating he was not guilty of violating the protection order and not guilty of resisting arrest and because of that evidence the judge dismissed the case with prejudice,” said defense attorney Clyde Bennett.No one with the Blue Ash Police Department would comment on the lawsuit but in the “use of force” investigation did not find officers at fault in the incident.“The officers acted appropriately and in an objectively reasonable manner given the active resistance by Cox, and the number, action, and demeanor of the crowd of people who had formed in the close proximity of the arrest,” wrote Police Chief Paul Hartinger.
