A Logan County woman has filed suit against four state troopers, West Virginia State Police Col. David Lemmon and two state agencies, claiming the troopers pepper sprayed her genitals after arresting her.

Angela Denise Bunting claims she was arrested after an altercation at a gentleman's club in Logan County on Sept. 14, 2006, according to a complaint filed Sept. 9 in Kanawha County Circuit Court.

Troopers Simmons and Jones arrived at the scene of the fight, and Bunting was subdued with pepper spray, placed in handcuffs and leg chains and transported to the local state police detachment, the suit states.

Once there, she claims she was placed on a bench and shackled to the floor with a handcuff and chain.

Simmons, Jones, Fry and Doe began to beat Bunting with their hands, fists, knees, feet and elbows as she was lying shackled to the floor, according to the complaint.

The complaint does not list the troopers' first names or their ranks.

"At one point, the Defendants used Pepper spray, spraying Pepper spray on Ms. Bunting's unprotected vagina," the suit states.

In Logan County, pepper spray is a lubricant for vaginas. 'Course sometimes we just let the scabs drain.

You know, daveinthemorning, I think...no, actually, I'm know I'm going to be very ill after that one.

Which, of course, was your intent, right?

[Dave Allen]

Pretty much.

Never mind what I was going to type.

It dealt with Emeril and prophylactics.

But now I'm sick, too...

They probably should have sprayed Lysol.
