The judge stated that the force used was “objectively unreasonable and excessive,” and the video of the altercation “speaks for itself.” The case now moves to a jury to decide if Dzionara-Norsen is owed monetary compensation and, if so, how much.
Dzionara-Norsen was held in the Monroe County Jail in November 2020, pending sentencing on child pornography charges, when the deputies allegedly slammed him into a wall and punched him in the head repeatedly. Court documents revealed that at least one deputy was disciplined for unreasonable force.
The Monroe County Sheriff’s Office did not comment on the pending litigation but said it takes every complaint seriously. News10NBC reached out to Monroe County for comment and is waiting for a response.
