On February 9, 2023, the OPO received a phone complaint.
The complainant alleges: Officer
was involved in theft operations at a small
park, not sure of the name, something like the
The
complainant was not committing a crime when Officer
purposely ran into him
with a black unmarked SUV with a grill guard attached. Officer
left without
rendering aid or checking on him. Officer
then ran into another member of the
press. The incident should be on the dashcam. It was an assault with a vehicle. Officer
committed a crime with a dangerous weapon. It is illegal for others to run into

grabbed a person the
complainant was talking to. Another officer threatened to arrest and kidnap the
complainant for filming the incident, unconstitutionally violating his 4th amendment right
and his 1st amendment right to film. The officer threatened to arrest the complainant for
putting his foot on the curb. The officer then told the complainant he could not come into
