Arkansas State Police are investigating a Star City police officer s use of force after the officer struck a 15-year-old girl while attempting to restrain her in July.
A Star City police officer who struck a 15-year-old girl while attempting to restrain her acted in self-defense and was allowed to return to work last month, according to the results of an administrative investigation by the department.
A Star City police officer is on paid administrative leave pending the outcome of an internal investigation after he was accused of striking a 15-year-old girl in the head with a closed fist six weeks ago, Police Chief Cody Drake said.
