Two Willis police officers have been indicted on criminal charges by a Montgomery County grand jury for alleged misconduct during a chase last summer where they used a Taser on a fleeing resident.
The two officers were indicted as a result of their actions on July 29, 2017, when they used the taser during their the arrest of Kendric Kizzie as he fled from a home in Willis. The grand jury charged both officers with official oppression, a class A misdemeanor, and a second charge of tampering with a governmental record, a state jail felony, court records show.
. . .
During Kizzies arrest, the officers intentionally subjected the man to mistreatment after they were called to a home in the Willis area, the indictment alleged. The officers arrested Kizzie for evading arrest after they deployed a Taser to detain him, according to court documents, and booked him into the Montgomery County jail.
The indictments also allege the two officers made false entries on the police arrest reports regarding the incident, claiming they told the victim to stop several times.
