An officer in Georgia who was recorded beating a woman with a baton had more than a dozen previous use of force incidents.
DeKalb County Officer P.J. Larscheid was captured on cell phone video beating Katie McCrary, 38, for over a minute inside a Chevron store in June. He’s on restricted duty for that incident, and according to the Atlanta Journal-Constitution, he’s had 14 other use of force incidents.
In 2011, Larscheid shot and killed a deer with his service weapon, according to his personnel file. He wasn’t reprimanded for that incident because the deer had been injured in a car accident.
He was written up for two other minor incidents — cursing during a theft investigation and failing to take a recovered car off of a stolen car list.
