On August 8, 2024, Officer Harris was caught on his patrol car camera physically assaulting detainee Billy Lee Coram. The footage showed Harris punching, elbowing, and slamming the car door against Coram’s head while he was handcuffed in the backseat. Harris was fired the following day and later arrested on charges including aggravated assault and filing a false report. A federal lawsuit filed by Coram alleges violation of his constitutional rights. ([apnews.com](https://apnews.com/article/0afa8facf0012785067b997512b27a82?utm_source=openai))
