HUNTSVILLE, Ala. (WAFF) - The University of Alabama in Huntsville (UAH) announced Tuesday three officers involved in an October 2020 incident are no longer employed.
Last fall, a local high school senior, Caleb Crutcher, was pulled over for a routine traffic stop by UAH campus police. Crutcher was pulled over for a cracked, but functioning tail light, according to police.
UAH’s President Darren Dawson later apologized and promised better transparency between the university and the police department moving forward.
