An autistic teen from Ohio was forcibly restrained, taunted and manhandled by police while he begged them for help days before he died from a head injury, footage has revealed.Isaiah Trammell, 19, was arrested in the early hours of March 13, 2023, following a mental health episode, the Columbus Dispatch reported.When authorities arrived at Trammell’s home in Lebanon, they found an outstanding warrant for a misdemeanor domestic violence offense, and took the teen into custody around 1 a.m., the outlet reported.Over the next 10 hours, Trammell — who had autism spectrum disorder — was denied repeated requests for a phone call, his medication and even a blanket, troubling footage from inside the Montgomery County Jail revealed.“Please let’s talk about this,” Trammell could be heard begging five sheriff’s deputies as they pinned him to the floor of his cell.“No, there’s no talking,” one deputy snapped as they strapped him into a restraint chair.
