New body camera footage shows a former Phoenix police officer, Conner Orth-Smith, repeatedly beating a man in handcuffs during a 2021 incident that began as a trespassing call.
It took four years for the footage to be released, but on Wednesday, FOX 10 obtained the video of the incident involving then-probationary officer Conner Orth-Smith.
On July 16, 2021, Orth-Smith, then 23, responded to a trespassing call at a local hospital where security guards had a man on the ground. Orth-Smith helped place the man in handcuffs and offered to give him a ride off the property instead of pursuing prosecution.
The man, who the officer believed to be drunk, was placed in the back of the squad car.
FOX 10’s Ellen McNamara has the details.
