1:10Now PlayingThe Boulder County Sheriff's Office in Colorado reached a settlement with a man who gouged his own eyes out while he was housed at the county jail in 2016, according to the man's attorney.
Ryan Partridge, a former inmate at the Boulder County jail, settled the federal civil rights lawsuit against former Boulder County Sheriff Joe Pelle and the county for a total of $2.55 million. The sheriff's office confirmed the settlement and said in a statement that they did not believe any staff members were at fault or violated any laws.
One settlement, for $325,000 was related to alleged excessive force that was used on Partridge. His attorneys released video of one alleged incident of excessive force. In it, numerous sheriff's office employees are seen struggling with Partridge, who is naked.
In the video, he appears he's taken to the ground, but the struggle happens behind a partial wall so it's impossible to see what's happening.
