Knox County prosecutors have dismissed charges against a Starbucks shift manager injured by Knox County sheriff's deputies, reports Knox News. The sheriff's office has opened an internal investigation into the man's arrest. Nashon Bain-Greenidge, a recent college graduate who worked at Starbucks to put himself through school, suffered serious cuts to his head and face and injuries to his hand when deputies arrested him outside the shop after he asked them why they had blocked entry to the parking lot. Knox News reports the deputies filed sparse and contradictory statements about the event. A sheriff's office spokesperson declined to answer whether either of the deputies has previously been the subject of civilian complaints.
