Who was Darryl Mount? Darryl Mount was a 21 year old boy who was chased by Saratoga Springs Police Department on August 31st 2013. During this chase Darryl was gravely injured and placed in a 9 month coma. During this time, it was found that Darryl's injuries were inconsistent with that of a fall from scaffolding (as this was the story told by police). His injuries were consistent with that of a severe beating. Darryl later succumbed to his injuries and passed on May 13th 2014. To this day there has never been an internal investigation or justice for Darryl Mount.
