Police investigations involving officers in Auburn and Dallas
The Auburn Police Department has placed an officer on administrative leave following a physical altercation with a man on Auburn Way North. The incident occurred on October 28, after an officer responded to reports of a man running in traffic. While the department reported that a taser was deployed and a struggle ensued, a video circulating on social media appears to show an officer repeatedly striking a shirtless man in the head while he was on the ground.
In Dallas, Allison Hudson, the Assistant Director of Media Relations for the Dallas Police Department, has been placed on administrative leave. She is under investigation by the department’s Public Integrity Unit regarding the alleged unauthorized use of a police vehicle’s lights and sirens. The Dallas Police Association stated that Hudson faces a felony accusation of impersonating a public servant. Dallas Police Chief Daniel Comeaux addressed the situation, stating that the department is following policy and disputing claims of preferential treatment.
