Criminal justice teacher who put his student, 15, in 'choke hold until he lost consciousness' has lengthy rap sheet
A high school criminal justice teacher and basketball coach at the center of a growing scandal after police say he placed a 15-year-old student in a choke hold owns a lengthy rap sheet, it has been revealed. Devon Murphy, 41, a teacher at Douglas Byrd High School in Fayetteville, North Carolina, has been charged with felony assault by strangulation and misdemeanor child abuse stemming from an alleged attack that took place in March. According to court documents, Murphy 'put his arm around the juvenile victim's neck in a choke hold position until the victim lost consciousness,' inflicting visible swelling on the right side of the student's forehead. 'The defendant unlawfully and willfully, being a person providing care and supervision because of a teacher and student relationship… did inflict physical injury on that child,' the arrest warrant states. Public records reviewed by the Daily Mail show that Murphy has been arrested eight times over the last 16 years, mainly for non-payment of rent. He has amassed more than $5,000 in unpaid debts, and in at least four cases landlords had to take legal action to have him forcibly evicted from their properties - most recently in 2022. Murphy was arrested late last month, four months after the alleged incident took place. He was booked into the Cumberland County Detention Center before being released on $25,000 secured bond. Murphy appeared in court on Friday and is scheduled to return for a disposition hearing on August 20. The arrest warrant details how Murphy allegedly used a choke hold maneuver that rendered the teenager unconscious. The alleged assault happened on school grounds, during the school day. The Fayetteville Police Department has launched a full criminal investigation, and its Youth Services Unit has urged any other potential victims or witnesses to come forward. 'These allegations are concerning and do not reflect the standards we expect of those who serve our students,' the Cumberland County Schools (CCS) district said in a statement. 'The safety of our students and staff remains our top priority.' The charges against Murphy have already shocked parents and staff. It is unclear whether Cumberland County Schools conducted a full background check before hiring Murphy in October 2013, or if his prior arrests were disclosed or considered irrelevant to his employment. In response to the most recent charges, CCS says it immediately suspended Murphy with pay after learning of the allegations. 'As soon as the situation was brought to our attention, we reported it to law enforcement and suspended the employee with pay, pending the outcome of the investigation,' a CCS spokesperson told WCCN. Murphy has served in both middle and high schools since joining the district more than a decade ago. He also worked as head coach of the boys' varsity basketball team at Douglas Byrd High. The school has not commented on whether the student involved in the case was a player on the team or had other personal interactions with Murphy outside of class. There are questions as to why it took police more than four months to arrest Murphy. The alleged assault took place in March, but Murphy wasn't arrested until July 24. The district also has not explained whether Murphy continued teaching or coaching students between March and his late-July arrest. His current employment status is 'suspended with pay.' No motive has been revealed, and neither the victim's identity nor the specific circumstances leading up to the alleged attack have been disclosed publicly due to the juvenile's age. Murphy remains free on bond and has not commented publicly on the charges. Murphy is due back in court on August 20, where he is expected to face a preliminary hearing that could determine whether the case proceeds to trial.

Police watchdog probing death of man in custody
The police watchdog has launched an investigation into the death of a man who was found unresponsive in police custody. Ellis Rocks was detained by Greater Manchester Police (GMP) officers at the Britannia Hotel in Almond Brook Road, Standish, Wigan, at about 8.35pm on Thursday, the Independent Office for Police Conduct (IOPC) said. Officers had responded to a call reporting that a man was trying to deal drugs at a premises in the town, and an arrest was made on suspicion of a drug offence, and also for an assault in London, GMP said. Information indicates Mr Rocks, 26, was handcuffed and searched by officers at the scene before being transferred to custody, the watchdog added. Mr Rocks remained in custody overnight and an ambulance was called by detention officers at about 2.30am on Friday after he was seen to be unresponsive and lying on the floor of a cell. After paramedics arrived, he was taken to hospital but he suffered a cardiac arrest en route and resuscitation was commenced. Mr Rocks died in hospital at 7.20am on Sunday. After a mandatory referral from GMP, IOPC investigators were deployed in the early hours of Friday and an independent investigation was declared at 10.18am on Sunday. The watchdog has reviewed CCTV from the custody suite and body-worn video footage from officers involved in the arrest, it said. It has also been in touch with the force about receiving initial accounts from the officers. An IOPC spokesperson said: 'This was a tragic incident in which Mr Rocks has sadly died and our thoughts are with his family and loved ones. 'GMP referred this matter to us, and as he was in the custody of police at the time he became unwell, it is important there is a thorough and independent investigation. We will examine all relevant matters including the interaction officers had with Mr Rocks during his detention and what happened after he arrived at the custody suite. 'We have made contact with his family to explain our role and will update them as our inquiries progress.' Assistant Chief Constable Chris Sykes said: 'Our thoughts are with the family of Ellis who have endured the most heartbreaking last few days. What is most important is that they get all the answers to what has led to his death. We will fully co-operate with the IOPC's inquiries. 'Incidents where someone sadly dies following police contact are rare but are nevertheless deeply impactful for that person's loved ones. It is important following a death in our custody that a thorough and independent investigation takes place, and I urge people to not rush to judgment before the full facts are established.'
