INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — A sergeant with the Indianapolis Metropolitan Police Department faces two felony charges and a recommendation to be fired after body-cam video showed him using excessive force during a recent arrest, authorities said Tuesday.
Fourteen-year veteran Sgt. Eric Huxley has been charged with official misconduct and battery resulting in moderate bodily injury for his actions Sept. 24 on Monument Circle, prosecutors said.
Huxley has since been suspended without pay, and Chief Randal Taylor has recommended Huxley’s dismissal, police said.
Huxley allegedly kicked a homeless man accused of disorderly conduct, Jermaine Vaught, in the face, causing his mouth to bleed, court documents said.
