In October 2017, Officer Brandon Clarke was involved in the arrest of Donna LaFever, who alleged excessive force during her booking at the Chenango County Jail. LaFever filed a lawsuit claiming that Clarke and other officers used unnecessary force, including a strip search and decontamination shower, without proper justification. The case, LaFever v. Clarke, was reviewed in 2021, with the court examining video evidence and officer testimonies to assess the claims of excessive force and constitutional violations.
