IMPD sergeant facing felony charges for violent arrest

Two different angles of the same moment, captured by IMPD body cameras during an arrest last month on Monument Circle have led to one officer facing felony charges.

IMPD said Sergeant Eric Huxley was assisting another officer making an arrest on Monument Circle when the incident happened on Friday, Sept. 24. Upon learning of the investigation on Wed. Oct. 6, Chief Randal Taylor launched a special investigation into Huxley's use of force.

During the news conference, IMPD Lt. Shane Foley said the charges stem from the internal investigation. Huxley has since been suspended without pay, and Taylor has recommended Huxley's termination to the Civilian Police Merit Board.
