A North Carolina grand jury indicted three law enforcement officers accused of attacking an unarmed homeless man, according to The News & Observer.
Wake County sheriff’s deputy Cameron Broadwell and North Carolina state highway patrol troopers Michael G. Blake and Tabitha L. Davis are charged with felony assault and willfully failing to discharge duties. The officers are accused of assaulting Kyron Dwain Hinton with flashlights and a police dog on April 3.
Hinton was crossing a street after he lost all of his money playing the lottery when he was approached by the officers. Hinton, who was homeless at the time, admits he was initially hostile due to his loss, but says he wasn’t threatening.
