Incident Reports

2020 Arrest of Clayton Shriver

Response Timeline

In May 2021, Farson resigned from the department.^[1]

On January 14, 2022, Shriver filed a civil rights lawsuit against the city and the two officers, claiming violations of his Fourth Amendment rights due to the use of excessive force, false arrest, and malicious prosecution, and that the department had failed to properly train the officers.^[4]^[1]^[5]

After the department was informed of Shriver's lawsuit, an internal investigation was launched. The investigator reviewed witness statements and the video footage, but did not interview the officers. The investigation cleared the officers, finding that the use of force was within policy, that the officers used sound judgment, and the officers' training was sufficient.^[4]

A civilian review board and department leadership upheld the investigation's findings.^[4]
