Two men are facing charges after a minor traffic accident near Dartmouth High School turned into the seizure of a loaded sawed-off shotgun and drugs.
Police found the gun as well as a large bottle of prescription pills and a small amount of marijuana when they searched one of the vehicles. Two Lake Echo men, aged 18 and 25, are facing charges.
An investigation by SIRT into a complaint by a citizen about police deleting video from his cellphone has been expanded into an investigation of possible excessive use of force.
It started with the arrest of a man outside a bar on Grafton Street April 27th. A by-stander who recorded it complained an officer deleted video of the arrest and SIRT began investigating. Now the police watchdog says it is also investigating the possible use of excessive force and assault in the arrest.
