New records released by the city of Antioch show that police use-of-force incidents that are now charged as crimes were cleared by sergeants and lieutenants within the force, including the city's police union president and the current acting police chief.
Six Antioch officers who were ultimately hit with federal charges collectively received $1,957,904.75 in pay and benefits while on administrative leave due to the pending FBI investigation, according to records released by the city.
