Police Chief Accused Of Beating Man With Prosthetic Leg

A police chief in the Midlands region of South Carolina has been accused of using excessive force against a 78-year-old man with a prosthetic limb. According to a local social media report, Joe Phillips of Swansea, S.C. was attacked by town police chief Earl Williams – who allegedly exploded in a “fit of rage” last week after Phillips questioned him about an off-duty officer under Williams’ command.

“Phillips had to be transported to the hospital due to his injuries,” a report on the Facebook page Pen and Coffee noted.

According to Phillips, a local business owner, he went to speak with the chief on Thursday afternoon about an off-duty deputy who has been involved in several high speed chases ending in accidents. This deputy was allegedly flying through town at more than 100 miles per hour without activating his lights or siren.
