Officer in School Beating Probe Was Fired as Deputy in 2003
By DAVID DISHNEAU, ASSOCIATED PRESS
Mar 4, 2016, 2:06 PM ET
A Baltimore public school police officer under investigation for a video showing him slapping and kicking a teenager at a school was fired from the city sheriff's department in 2003 for his role in an incident in which a stun gun was used on a man mistaken for a bank robber.
Court records show that Anthony C. Spence Jr., 44, also was the subject of a protective order in a domestic violence case in 2011.
Spence acknowledged in a telephone conversation with The Associated Press on Friday that he's the subject of a criminal investigation into the actions captured on cellphone video Tuesday at the REACH Partnership School. He referred questions to his lawyer, Michael Davey, who didn't immediately respond to calls and emails.
Spence said he wouldn't discuss the matter because the news media would "twist" the story.
"Right now I'm the bad guy," he said.
