Ex-Louisville officer indicted for firing pepper balls in the moments before David McAtee's fatal police shooting
CNN
A former police officer is facing a federal charge of using unreasonable force against an individual in the moments leading up to the fatal police shooting of Black restaurant owner David McAtee during the 2020 summer police brutality protests in Louisville.
The indictment, filed Wednesday, alleges that former Louisville officer Katie Crews violated the constitutional rights of an individual -- identified only by the initials "M.M" -- when she fired a pepper ball, striking the person, who was "standing on private property and not posing a threat" to other people. An attorney representing the officer declined to comment.
McAtee's popular restaurant, YaYa's BBQ, was near a parking lot where officers -- including Crews -- fired pepper balls in attempts to clear a crowd on June 1, 2020.
