ATLANTA â Three weeks before shooting and killing Rayshard Brooks during a scuffle in a Wendyâs parking lot, embattled Atlanta police Officer Garrett Rolfe broke a manâs collarbone during a DUI stop, according to a federal complaint filed Monday.
The lawsuit accuses Rolfe of using excessive force when he allegedly grabbed Charles Johnson Jr. and threw him to the ground during a May 22, 2020, arrest, âthoroughly breaking his collarbone among other minor injuries.â
It wasnât the first time Rolfe was accused of using excessive force on the job. And Johnsonâs attorney, Keith Foster, said if the Atlanta Police Department had handled a previous complaint appropriately, Brooks might still be alive.
