Deputy Benson – Twin Falls Police Department

Deputy Benson was named in a lawsuit where the plaintiff alleged that Benson struck him to the ground, causing injuries including head bleeding and bruises. The plaintiff also claimed that Benson, along with other deputies, mocked him by stating that the officer who had previously shot him was coming back to finish him off. The court found that the injuries alleged were not de minimis and allowed the excessive force claim to proceed.
