The Marin County district attorney knew that San Rafael police officer Brandon Nail had credibility issues long before he beat and bloodied a local gardener during questioning about an open container of beer, according to an internal police memo.
After almost six months of delays, the City of San Rafael released the investigative reports into the police beating of a local gardener during questioning about an open container of beer. The three reports focus on a July 27, 2022 incident, when two then-officers, Daisy Mazariegos and Brandon Nail, used physical force against a man in the Canal area.
