Police Torture Tourist to Death, No One Charged
62-year-old Nick Christie was visiting Florida as a tourist from Ohio. He was picked up on a drunken disorderly charge and sent to jail. Pictures and depositions appear to support allegations that this man was tied down naked, gagged, and pepper-sprayed for hours until he died of a heart failure. The death was ruled a homicide, but no criminal charges were ever filed and no internal disciplinary action was ever taken. The DA's office cleared the department of any wrongdoing.
