Eric Daigneault – York County Sheriff’s Office

Written by CBKN76

In February 2018, Corrections Officer Daigneault used excessive force on detainee Brian Dunnigan at the York County Jail. Daigneault kneeled on Dunnigan’s chest and applied a Taser to him multiple times, causing severe burns and breaking three ribs. Dunnigan filed a lawsuit in 2019, alleging excessive use of force. In August 2023, the case was settled out of court.
