Ewing Police Chief Al Rhodes said after the arrest, the Mercer County Prosecutor's Office, the state Attorney General's office and the FBI reviewed the case and concluded no criminal charges were warranted.
EWING Federal authorities are investigating the 2018 arrest of a teenager in which at least one police officer stepped on the teen’s head as he lay on his stomach already restrained, according to body camera footage cited in a report.
“We cannot speak for the FBI, however they did request and were supplied documents relating to that incident,” Ewing Police Chief Al Rhodes said in a written response to New Jersey 101.5.
Body camera footage was shared by The Trentonian, which reported on Monday that the January 2018 incident involved multiple Ewing Police officers and a 16-year-old Black juvenile.
The video footage also shows a couple of officers appearing to kick snow into the teen s face, while he s still laying restrained on the ground.
