Why Was Randy Cox Arrest?
The 36-year-old was sitting alone in the back of a police van in handcuffs when the van’s driver abruptly stopped and sent Cox straight into the door.
After officers opened the car’s rear, Cox told them he could not move and even stated that he believed his neck was broken. However, they took Cox out of the van with his feet.
He was processed inside an automobile and then taken to an isolation cell.
Five officers were later put on administrative leave.

“What occurred to Randy Cox never should have been happening, and if you affirm that we value Randy Cox’s story … then we must prove that by doing something about it,” said Benjamin Crump, the attorney for Cox.
Cox was recently admitted to the hospital for complications resulting from his injuries.
