Eds: APNewsNow.
SPRINGFIELD, Mass. (AP) — Police in Springfield are conducting a criminal investigation against four colleagues involved in a traffic stop in which a white officer beat a black suspect with a flashlight,
The internal and criminal investigations began as Melvin Jones III was being treated for fractured bones in his face, a broken finger and a partially blind eye stemming from the Nov. 27 incident.
Sgt. John Delaney said late Thursday that patrolman Jeffery Asher is seen on video shot by a witness beating Jones with a flashlight. Three other officers were at the scene. Asher was suspended for six months without pay in 1997 when another video showed him kicking a black suspect who had already been subdued by two other officers.
Police expect to conclude their probe in two weeks.
Jones has pleaded not guilty to drug possession and other charges.
