Boyce Ballinger – Fort Wayne Police Department

Written by CBKN76

Former Sergeant Boyce Ballinger was involved in a 2020 incident during downtown protests where he tackled Lucas Williams, causing a concussion and broken nose. Williams was awarded $80,000 in damages after a jury found Ballinger used excessive force and falsely arrested him. In 2021, Ballinger was convicted of strangulation and domestic battery, leading to his resignation from the department.
