Officer cleared after man booked into jail with neck brace

LOUISVILLE, Ky. (AP) — A Kentucky police officer has been cleared of wrongdoing in the arrest of a man who was thrown to the ground by officers and later booked into jail wearing a neck brace. News outlets report Louisville Metro police Officer Cory Evans had been charged with violating department use of force and courteous conduct policies in the December 2018 arrest of Jarrus Ransom. An internal investigation was launched after bystanders shared videos that showed Ransom being slammed into the ground and punched. Newly released body camera video shows him fighting officers after they found pills in his car.
