In February 2017, Officer Justin Roberts was captured on video striking a handcuffed individual multiple times during an arrest. This incident led to his termination from the Jackson Police Department for violating departmental rules and regulations. Roberts appealed the termination, but the decision was upheld by the Civil Service Commission and the Hinds County Circuit Court.([caselaw.findlaw.com](https://caselaw.findlaw.com/court/ms-court-of-appeals/2093318.html?utm_source=openai))
