In April 2019, Officer Adam Wittmayer was disciplined after an internal investigation revealed he repeatedly yanked on the dreadlocks of a handcuffed Black man, Montavis Keller, and struck him twice on the back of the head during an arrest following a high-speed chase. The specific details of the discipline were not disclosed, but the police chief described the punishment as ‘significant.’ A state prosecutor declined to seek criminal charges against Wittmayer, concluding that jurors would understand why he was agitated during the incident.
