Colorado cop found guilty of reckless endangerment for placing handcuffed suspect in patrol car hit by train
Fox News
A Colorado police officer was found guilty of reckless endangerment and assault after a suspect was put in a parked patrol car that was hit by a freight train.
"There's no reasonable doubt that placing a handcuffed person in the back of a patrol car, parked on railroad tracks, creates a substantial and unjustifiable risk of harm by the train," Judge Timothy Kerns said.
But Kerns did not believe that Steinke "knowingly intended to harm Ms. Rios-Gonzalez," adding that Stienke had displayed "shock and remorse."
