Grand jury to discuss Coquille police case
Friday, February 01, 2008 |
The Coos County district attorney has convened a grand jury to look into the arrest of a Coquille man that led to a critical injury.
In a press release this morning, District Attorney R. Paul Frasier said given the “nature of the injuries suffered by (Carl) Foster” the matter should be reviewed by a grand jury.
Foster was critically injured during an arrest Jan. 12 by Coquille Police Officers James Bryant and Chris Webley. The officers were seeking Foster following a criminal mischief complaint the previous day.
According to a press release, Foster resisted arrest and was taken to the ground by the officers. Foster eventually was life-flighted to Sacred Heart Medical Center in Eugene, where he underwent surgery to a fractured vertebra.
Foster remains in serious condition at an intensive care unit at the hospital.
