In June 2019, Officer Brad Williams arrested Duc Tran, a 45-year-old skateboarder, resulting in Tran suffering a fractured elbow, dislocated shoulder, and other injuries. Tran alleged excessive force, leading to a lawsuit seeking $3 million in damages. Williams resigned from the department in January 2021. Subsequently, his law enforcement certification was revoked in December 2022 due to findings of sexually biased policing and lack of moral character, including disproportionately targeting women for alcohol violations and alleged harassment of exotic dancers.
