At the time, she was handcuffed in the back of his police cruiser. Durden-Bosley, 23, was intoxicated, and arrested outside the home of a Seattle man whose mom had called the police. The police officer suffered no injuries, according to court documents.
From the Seattle Times:
Federal prosecutors say they will review an incident in which a Seattle police officer punched and seriously injured a handcuffed, intoxicated woman, after King County prosecutors said Friday they won’t charge the officer.“You punched me in my face for no reason,” she says on the in-car police video. “You punched me in my eye.”
Emily Langlie, spokeswoman for acting U.S. Attorney Annette L. Hayes, said her office will look at the June 22 incident involving Officer Adley Shepherd for a possible federal criminal civil-rights violation.
Officer Shepherd has been on paid administrative leave since the incident.
Earlier this year, a State Patrol use of force investigation stated the officer used force that caused “unnecessary and foreseeable injury” to Durden-Bosley.
