ROANOKE A Roanoke man claims sheriff's deputies beat him in the city jail because of his burping. Thomas Scott Vandegrift made the allegations in a federal lawsuit filed last week against several deputies, the city, the sheriff's office and the sheriff. According to the lawsuit, the deputies were annoyed by Vandegrift's burping, which was caused by acid reflux.
Vandegrift was being held at the jail on a drunken driving charge. He pleaded no contest in 2008 and received a six-month suspended sentence, a $750 fine and a year of driving restrictions.
The lawsuit alleges excessive force, conspiracy to violate civil rights and assault and battery.

***So without the full story, youre declaring the cops behaved stupidly?***
Beer summit!
Thank You Barack.
I’m not a cop. But I know a lot of them. The story is sparse on detail.
And you’ve declared guilt. Just like your namesake Barack did.
Are you planning a beer summit? Change your name to Georgia0. It fits you better.
Ditto That. Notice meber since Dec2009. Georgia1 only posts to make FR look like nut jobs. Time will ZOT
Eggsactly
You are a very silly person.
I forgot to say; “You must be an idiot so I won’t argue with you. I’d have to get down to your level and you’d beat me with experience!”
Later ZERO
Georgia0, You are a moron. Well if you increase your IQ by 20 you’d be a moron
Personal name calling. How mature.
Sorry I dropped to your level. You act like a moron.
Better?
Now hear this: badge-lappers, badge-lappers, lay to the quarterdeck and man your tongues. Lick down and polish all law enforcement officer boots on the double. Set the special cop-worshiping and excuse-making detail. That is all.
“badge-lappers’. glad you are above the fray.
you are so cool
My military LEO hubby is ‘training me’ to be able to handle insults far beyond my slant eyes so that I won’t cry like a girl. Thanks for the material.
He isn’t doing a very good job
So you call yourself slant eyes? Once again you try to create a strawman argument. I guess I’m supposed to have said that. ZERO fits you.
LMAO
Get you hubby to train you that here you are innocent until proven guilty. But since he is an LEO I guess by your admission he must be abusive to you. The logic makes no sense. But that is what you prefer, I guess. I am logging out now so I assume you will spew more of your logic. I will respond when I get time.
