OFFICER BEAT DOWN CAUGHT ON TAPE! (HD)

July 21, 2010 — (MIDDLETOWN, OHIO) Footage of Middletown Police Officer Jason Deaton pulling over 45-year-old Eric German Wednesday afternoon shows it all.

German was believed to have hit a car and fled the scene minutes before Deaton caught up to him.

At first the traffic stop seems routine, but that quickly changed.

Police say German became irritated about being pulled over. Part of the reason for that irritation was because German is a private security officer and showed Deaton his badge.

As German began to struggle, officer Deaton tased him, but the taser did not work properly. That's when the fists began flying.

"He's got a black eye and there's some swelling on the side of his face. He got punched pretty hard. When I was at the hospital they hadn't told him yet what the extent of his injuries were," said Lt. Walter Reev with the Middletown Police Department.

When backup did arrive, German was tased by a second officer and taken into custody.

He now faces several charges including assault on a police officer, resisting arrest, obstructing official business, failure to drive in marked lanes and fleeing the scene of an accident.

He was arraigned Thursday morning and given a $500,000 cash bond. He also aksed for a public attorney.

Officer Deaton was taken to Atrium Medical Center where he is being treated for his injuries. His condition has not been released.
