Two Fort Worth, Texas, police commanders have been temporarily reassigned while investigators probe who leaked police video and other materials in the brutal arrest of Jacqueline Craig and her daughters by Officer William Martin.
According to CBS News, the Fort Worth Police Department launched an internal investigation after Martin’s body-camera video was leaked and his disciplinary records were released to defense attorneys and other parties.
The leaked bodycam footage provided a new angle of the moments prior to Craig’s unnecessary arrest, which drew outrage after one of her daughters posted cellphone footage to Facebook, showing William escalate the encounter as he drags Craig to the ground before arresting her and her two daughters.
The entire incident started because Craig was seeking help after a neighbor reportedly assaulted her young son over littering. The charges against Craig were later dropped.
Martin received a slap on the wrist (that’s putting it lightly) and was suspended without pay for 10 days. He was not fired following an internal investigation.
