At about 2:50 a.m.
Surveillance video shows Meade opening the cell door, grabbing the prisoner by the neck and throat, while the suspect grabbed the officer’s arm. Meade admitted that he then close-fist punched the man on the left side of the face, while the two struggled in the cell. Once Meade and the communications officer had handcuffed the prisoner and put him face-down on the flood, the officer struck him in the groin with the baton, the plea document states.

A Citronelle police officer later told investigators that Meade was being “braggadocious” about the encounter during shift change.
