Carlos Padro – Connecticut Department of Correction

Written by CBKN76

In March 2019, Lt. Padro was involved in an altercation with inmate Carl ‘Robby’ Talbot, who was mentally ill. Padro was convicted in 2021 of kicking and pepper-spraying Talbot while he was on the floor. Talbot died two hours later. Padro received a one-year suspended sentence and three months probation. In August 2023, the Attorney General’s office ceased defending Padro in a civil suit filed over Talbot’s death, leaving him personally liable for any damages.

Why This Matters

By organizing this data, we can potentially demonstrate when officers were previously aware of laws they later claim ignorance of, challenging qualified immunity defenses and promoting accountability.
