JACKSON, Miss. - Another criminal complaint has been filed against a Greenwood police officer for using police brutality in the arrest of a 26-year-old man.
Jerrance Jones and his mother, Mary Jordan, filed charges of simple assault, trespassing and burglary against Greenwood police officer Terrence Craft, according to www.clarionledger.com. The charges were filed today in Leflore County Justice Court.
Jordan said Craft chased her son into her house and pistol whipped him, continuing to beat him and spray him with pepper spray even after he was in handcuffs.
Jones was arrested Sunday and charged with possession of marijuana, evading arrest and a variety of traffic offenses. He is out on $150,000 bond.
Jones has hired Grenada attorney Carlos Moore to represent him. Moore is the attorney for Greenwood High School senior James Marshall, who is suing the city for $2 million over a Dec. 6 incident involving police officer Casey Wiggins where the officer twice pulled his weapon out and pointed it at the unarmed teenager.
