A New Mexico man is suing the city of Las Cruces for $12.5 million after two police officers using excessive force to arrest him left him with a skull fracture and put him in the ICU.

Russ Flynn was arrested in December for allegedly pointing his rifle at a neighbor in the midst of a dispute over a parking space. The officers say he ignored their commands to put down the firearm, KRQE News reported. 

The video shows that after Flynn hurled some choice words at officers Richard Garcia and Danny Salcado, the two threw him against the wall and started to beat him. 

Flynn suffered a skull fracture and other injuries.

But Garcia’s report on the incident indicated Flynn had injured himself. 

“[Flynn] was walked back all the way where he did hit his back and head against the wall,” Garcia claimed.

Garcia says he used knee kicks “to distract him from grabbing at the officer’s belt.”

“It’s absolutely shocking. It was a vicious attack on Mr. Flynn,” attorney Christopher Cardenas told KRQE. “Mr. Flynn was handcuffed. He was already in police custody. So he was posing no threat to the officers.”

Cardenas notified the city of Las Cruces that they intend to sue. They’re asking for $12.5 million.

“There needs to be repercussions for that,” Cardenas said. “Otherwise, what will end up occurring is, these situations will be repeated because there will be no punishment.”
