A wanted man is claiming police brutality after getting in a scuffle with officers in Greensburg, but police say he’s the one who made the first move.
Police in Westmoreland County call Davin Redfield a known individual. They’ve had quite a few run-ins in the past. In this latest incident, he’s accused of fighting police, leaving at least three law enforcement officers injured.
Redfield claims he was roughed up by police, calling it “police brutality.”
But Greensburg Police say Redfield got hurt only after he battled them inside a Greensburg apartment complex after Redfield had been on the run.
“He pulled out a knife and made a motion towards an individual,” Greensburg Police Capt. Robert Stafford said.
Redfield was also wanted for stalking. Police say Redfield texted a young woman, “I’ve got nothing to lose. Leave while you can! … Call all the cops you want. You want me to be ruthless fine! You’ll get what you want then!”
“Eventually we did get a tip where he was,” Stafford said.
The law finally caught up with Redfield once again at the Autumn Brook apartments.
