And it's been 18 days since an inmate complained that two Rhea County sheriff's deputies beat him, kicked him in the face and groin, and slammed him against a patrol car AFTER he surrendered to police. 18 days, and yet Rhea County Sheriff Mike Neal says he won't open an investigation unless he gets a direct complaint from the inmate. The indecent happened after Walter Gann led police on a 65-mile chase from Dade County, Georgia, across the state line to Dayton on May 30th. Afterwards, Gann wrote THIS complaint about the beating. District Attorney Mike Taylor says he's now examining the situation to decide if he should call in the Tennessee Bureau of Investigation.
