NEW PORT RICHEY, Fla. — A half dozen corrections jail incident reports about what happened when a corrections officer shot 29-year-old Matthew Trevino, who suffers from mental illness, are remarkably consistent with one another. But they are not consistent with a video recorded by one of the officers.
The video of the August 2015 shooting will likely be at the center of a federal civil rights lawsuit against the Pasco County Sheriff’s Office.
Earlier that day, Trevino had been booked into the Pasco County jail on a probation violation.That night, deputies, who wanted to search his cell for contraband, told him to place his hands through the slot of his door to be handcuffed, according to both the reports and the video.
