Complaint says man shot in eye with Taser

Matthew David Kelly, 24, of Harrison, sued on April 2 in U.S. District Court in Cincinnati, alleging near total loss of vision in his right eye after he was shot twice by Deputy Clinton Sines. He asked for compensatory damages of $5 million on each of four counts.

“Sheriff’s office. Show us your hands. I know you’re asleep, now get out,” as he grabbed the back of Kelly’s sweatshirt and began to try to pull him out of the truck.

Sines gave a couple of hard tugs, apparently unaware that the wordless and apparently confused Kelly was being held by his seat belt.

“I’ll taze you,” Sines told Kelly as he continued to yank Kelly from the truck. When Sines’ grip slipped, Kelly rose and Sines fired his Taser. The Taser prong struck Kelly in the right eye.
