Deputy in Horseback Pursuit Beat Previous Suspect Unconscious !
The names were released of the 10 San Bernardino County Sheriff’s deputies who beat the man who led them on a horseback pursuit. A San Bernardino County Sheriff’s deputy named among the 10 involved in the takedown of a man after a horseback pursuit beat another man unconscious during an arrest a few years ago, the man’s attorney said Monday.
Deputy Nicholas Downey beat Cody Williams during an arrest in 2011 for riding an all-terrain vehicle on a county road, said the attorney, Peter Schlueter.
“Deputy Downey beat him so severely and he had a concussion,” Schlueter said. “My client has very limited memory of the event.”
Schlueter said he was not surprised to hear Downey’s name pop up on the list of deputies seen on NBC4 helicopter video involving the horse pursuit beating of Francis Pusok.

Schlueter said he has extensively investigated Downey’s past.
