Corrections Officer Brutally Beats Suspect for Clearing His Throat <br /> <br />A Florida corrections officer found himself behind bars — albeit for only a few minutes — after getting caught on camera slamming a suspect's head into the wall, leaving him unconscious and bleeding. <br />Footage from inside the Marion County Jail shows Officer Charlie Broaderick beating up DUI suspect James Duckworth after the latter cleared his throat. <br /> <br />Duckworth was in the process of being booked when he made a sound which Broaderick interpreted as an intention to spit on him. <br /> <br />Broaderick responded by slamming Duckworth into the wall and exclaiming, "You don't spit at officers." <br /> <br />The violent outburst left a visible streak of blood on the wall behind Duckworth. <br /> <br />The officers then engage in a conversation over Duckworth's true intention, leading Broaderick to realize his error. <br /> <br />An effort is then made to treat Duckworth's injuries. <br /> <br />Broaderick was subsequently arrested and charged with assault, but spent just 13 minutes in a jail cell before posting his $2,000 bail. <br /> <br />Marion County has since placed Broaderick on unpaid leave pending the result of an excessive force investigation.
