Judge Grants Motion For FBI To Release Records

{Williamson, West Virginia}...Thursday, U.S. Magistrate Judge Mary E. Stanley granted a motion filed by State Police lawyers requesting the FBI to release records of an investigation into the arrest and alleged beating of 22 year old Calvin Jerrod Wilkerson. Wilkerson alleges that, in January 2009, State Police troopers repeatedly beat him with batons before allowing police dogs to run him down and attack him outside the State Police detachment in Williamson. FBI investigators looked into the incident and decided not to prosecute the officers reportedly involved. Williamson police officers were processing Wilkerson on a warrant that sought to involuntarily commit Wilkerson to a mental hygiene facility when the alleged incident occurred.
