Allegations:
Carter, who was 69 at the time, was involved in a traffic accident and taken to a hospital for treatment. When he was released to officers, Carter told them he could not walk and needed medical attention. But officers handcuffed Carter, threw him into a paddy wagon, took him to a police station and threw him into a cell without letting him see a doctor. Officers left Carter lying on the concrete floor of the cell and threatened to sodomize him if he didn't get up to be fingerprinted and processed. The next day, Carter was taken back to the hospital and then to another hospital, where he was diagnosed with extensive spinal fractures and a rotator cuff injury--injuries that he did not have after the accident.
