4 EPD Officers Appeal Suspensions At Police Merit Commission Meeting
The future of these four officers remains unclear. They all appealed their suspensions, but it could take weeks until a decision is made.
The four Evansville Police officers are accused of using excessive force in the arrest of Matt Healy on October 29th. Officers filed documents stating Healy fought with them during the arrest. But body cam footage showed that was not the case.
Officers Mark Decamps, Marcus Craig, and Nick Henderson could be fired. Sergeant Kyle Kassel could be demoted. Indiana State Police are also investigating to see if the men should face criminal charges.
The officers suspensions will be up on Thanksgiving. The chief will decide if they come back to work November 25th or be suspended with pay.
The next Police Merit Commission meeting is November 28th, but no disciplinary action will be taken. However there could be disciplinary hearings scheduled.
