BRENTWOOD, NH — A former Rockingham County corrections officer "maliciously and sadistically" beat an inmate at the county jail, in violation of the county's policies regarding use of force, leading to the officer's resignation, according to a lawsuit filed by the inmate in the U.S. District Court of New Hampshire. Through Concord attorney Charles Douglas, inmate Kirk Cutler, 50, is suing former corrections officer Christopher Carbonneau and Rockingham County, alleging the inmate was the victim of excessive force, cruel and unusual punishment, and assault and battery. Currently incarcerated at the state prison for sexual assault convictions, Cutler alleges that on June 9, 2010, Carbonneau was booking him at the Rockingham County Jail and asked him where he lived. A trucker, Cutler claims he answered that he lived in his truck, prompting "an angry and unrestrained response" from Carbonneau. According to the lawsuit, Carbonneau pushed Cutler facedown onto a floor and gave him "multiple knee strikes" to the head and neck, "injuring him to the point that he urinated and defecated in his orange prison jumpsuit during the beating."
