Officer guilty of assault over police baton use
A South Australian police officer has been found guilty of aggravated assault for repeatedly striking a man with his baton during an arrest.
The Police Ombudsman has ruled the officer fabricated evidence about the case with the intention of influencing legal proceedings.
The case was revealed in the Police Ombudsman's annual report, which said the officer was reported by colleagues who witnessed the assault on closed-circuit TV and saw no threat to the officer from a man who was face down on the ground.
The officer resigned from the force before the Police Disciplinary Tribunal could finalise the charges against him.
