While carrying out an order to have his ex-girlfriend involuntarily committed, Ronald Davis, 37, allegedly asked another person to film him as he appeared to strangle and restrain her.
A Pennsylvania state trooper was caught on camera appearing to physically assault his ex-girlfriend after allegedly abusing his power to have her involuntarily committed to a hospital.
The woman wound up being held at Lehigh Valley Hospital for four days, until her release Aug. 25. “The video and text communications with Davis show that [the victim] was rational and the involuntary commitment was improper,” according toA judge ordered Davis be held without bail in Dauphin County Prison at his preliminary arraignment last week, according to the DA’s office. A preliminary hearing has been set for Oct. 2.
Davis then asked his colleagues if they could have her involuntarily committed, according to the probable cause affidavit. A corporal at the station said it would be better if he contacted, a 24/7 program, to file a petition to have her involuntarily committed “to minimize conflict and liability.” Davis left the station shortly after 1:15 p.m., and notified colleagues he found the woman in a picnic area about 15 minutes later.
Davis never claimed he was acting in his official capacity as a trooper, the document states. Davis later told police that the woman knew he was a trooper.
