This officer has now been indicted for the violent illegal arrest of Michael Scurlock over two years ago. But initially, rather than being punished, he was promoted from officer, to the rank of sergeant. Scurlock had been hit by an SUV while riding his bicycle. Instead of allowing him to leave the scene after the incident was over, the officer violently attacked Scurlock, leaving him unconscious for nearly three minutes. Instead of taking him to a hospital, they took him to jail, processed him, and drove him home – ignoring the obvious signs of head trauma. It would ultimately lead to his death nearly a year later.
