DETROIT, MI — Wayne County Prosecutor Kym Worthy plans to reveal the results of two recent police brutality investigations at 11 a.m. Monday.
She plans “to announce charging decisions on assault allegations regarding Floyd Dent and Andrew Jackson (Jr.),” a statement issued by Worthy’s office on Friday says. “No further information will be given until the press conference.”
Both investigations were prompted by videotaped arrests and involve officers with checkered pasts.
Jackson, 51, was beaten by Highland Park Police Officer Ronald Dupuis, who’s worked for three other departments and faced prior allegations that he shot his partner with a Taser, arrested a man without cause and choked a woman in jail.
William Melendez, who worked for the Inkster Police Department until being fired Thursday, earned a reputation as an aggressive cop and the nickname “Robocop” while previously working for the Detroit Police Department.
Melendez has been named in a numerous civil lawsuits filed by plaintiffs claiming he violated their civil rights.
