Video Shows New Hampshire Police Brutally Beating Man After Drunken Driving Arrest
An aspiring rapper said he may sue police in New Hampshire over injuries he received during a 2009 drunken driving arrest.
Mike “MJB” Bergeron, of Seabrook, posted surveillance video Monday on YouTube that he said shows police slamming him face-first into a concrete brick wall and dousing him with pepper spray while he was on the floor.
Bergeron said the beating took place after his Nov. 11, 2009, arrest for driving while intoxicated.
Seabrook’s town manager confirmed the existence of the video, which has since been shared by other YouTube users, and said three of the officers shown on the video have been placed on administrative leave while the town investigates the incident.
