Franklin County deputy faces disciplinary hearing over training incident

Cody Van Meter struggled to breathe as the 270-pound Franklin County deputy sheriff pinned him to the ground with a knee planted across his neck. One, two, three jabs in the ribs. Van Meter became disoriented as the deputy applied a bear hug on the ground. Then the deputy hoisted Van Meter into the air and body-slammed him like a professional wrestler delivering the knockout blow.
