NORTHAMPTON COUNTY, NC -
Attorneys for Don D. Long II, the 39 year-old Black man who suffered
permanent eye damage and vision impairment after being needlessly assaulted by a deputy with the Northampton County Sheriff’s Office, released video of the assault where Deputy Gregory Colson sprayed pepper spray directly to his eyes at close range after Long simply inquired whether he could
enter a courtroom at the Northampton County Courthouse.
