Texas police officials reassigned amid leaked video
FORT WORTH (AP) - FORT WORTH, Texas (AP) - Two Fort Worth police commanders have been temporarily replaced as investigators determine who leaked police video and other material in the controversial arrest of a black woman and her daughters by a white officer.
KXAS-TV in Dallas reports an assistant chief and deputy chief were questioned in the matter.
The police department began an internal investigation after officer William Martin's body-camera video was leaked. Martin's disciplinary records also were leaked to defense attorneys and others.
Martin had responded in December to a dispute involving Jacqueline Craig, who said a neighbor had assaulted her son for littering.
Cell-phone video of the encounter appears to show Martin escalating the situation before he forces Craig to the ground and arrests her and then her two daughters.
Charges against Craig were later dropped.
