Louisiana State Police has confirmed that two troopers, one of whom was involved in the deadly arrest of Ronald Greene, have been fired.
A police spokesman confirmed Wednesday that troopers Dakota DeMoss and George Harper were fired Friday, June 4 in connection with the May 2020 arrest of Antonio Harris in Richland Parish.
Greene was arrested after a chase in May, 2019 and died in police custody. Police originally claimed Greene died as a result of his car crashing, but video of the incident showed Greene being beaten after being arrested.
According to Associated Press, Harris sped away from a traffic stop and led troopers through rural Richland Parish at speeds topping 150 mph before his car was finally stopped with a spike strip.
