Target 7: Former Alleghany County sheriff’s deputy sued for $5 million over ‘excessive and brutal use of force’ ( www.wdbj7.com )
Video of his arrest obtained by our Target 7 team shows the officer repeatedly punching the man until he’s covered in blood.
It happened March 30, 2022, when former deputy James Wright arrested Joshua Barricks for skateboarding on a highway and public intoxication.
Barricks’ attorney explained the alleged crimes don’t fit the beating that followed.
