A white police sergeant in Indiana is charged with two felonies after bodycam video his department released this week was alleged to show him stomping on the head of a handcuffed homeless Black man while he was being arrested.
The sergeant, Eric Huxley, 43, a 14-year veteran with the Indianapolis Metropolitan Police Department, was charged with official misconduct and battery with moderate bodily injury, police said.
Federal authorities are also investigating Huxley's conduct in the arrest on Sept. 24 of Jermaine Vaughn, 39, who was handcuffed and on the ground when another officer's body camera appeared to show Huxley approach him and stomp once on his head with his left foot.
At an emotional news conference Tuesday, Police Chief Randal Taylor said Huxley's actions were "outrageous" and "totally uncalled for." Police said that Huxley has been suspended without pay and that Taylor will recommend termination.
