Put Him in Jail

As witness got up to the strug- gling pair, Sergeant Kerr shouted: "Sergeant, get this man from me and put him in jail.”

Continuing, the witness said that he called to Boyle to get off but the latter would not move, so the witness had to use force. Witness hit Boyle three times on the head with his fist and then caught him one on the jaw as he pulled Boyle up. Boyle then got up and stood quietly.
