Description

Marcus Worthy was subjected to excessive force, false arrest, malicious prosecution, and abuse of process by Buffalo Police Officers Corey Krug, William Macy, Thomas Herbert, and Joseph Paskiewicz on August 29, 2010. At the time, Worthy, a licensed security guard trainee with a valid pistol permit, was standing outside a residence when the officers arrived in response to an unrelated incident. Without provocation, they tackled, handcuffed, and beat Worthy with a flashlight, causing significant injuries, despite him offering no resistance.

Following the assault, the officers, joined by Buffalo Police Officer Melinda Jones and Lieutenant Brian Strobele, fabricated felony and misdemeanor charges against Worthy (including menacing a police officer and resisting arrest) to conceal their misconduct.

Outcome

The charges filed against Worthy were dismissed by a grand jury.

A civil complaint filed against the City of Buffalo, Buffalo Police Officers Brian Strobele, Corey Krug, Joseph Paskiewicz, Melinda Jones, Thomas Herbert, and William Macy. A civil case against the City of Buffalo, Corey Krug, and Joseph Hassett was settled for $70,000.

Corey Krug was charged with violating the civil rights of three men through use of excessive force, one of which included Marcus Worthy. Krug was eventually acquitted on all counts. Krug as well as the other officers have not faced accountability for this incident of brutality.
