An Ohio jail deputy who was accused of slamming a handcuffed inmate head-first into a wall two years ago was cleared of all wrongdoing in the case.

Lorain County Sheriff’s Deputy Brian Tellier, 36, was charged with two counts of tampering with records and one count of felonious assault for injuring Jeffrey Fry at the county jail on May 12, 2023.

Surveillance footage shows Tellier walking Fry through the jail’s sally port when he suddenly grabs Fry’s arm and shoves him into the wall. He then drags a limp and unresponsive Fry away and recklessly hurls him onto a gurney.

Fry suffered severe and permanent injuries after the assault, according to his attorney, including a spinal cord injury that left him with partial paralysis, weakness, chronic pain and disability.
