Officer Eric Casebolt, now infamous for pinning a black teenage female to the ground after a fight broke out at a community pool, has officially resigned.
The local police Chief described Casebolt’s actions as “indefensible.”
Cpl. Eric Casebolt’s resignation comes a day after hundreds of protesters marched near the pool in McKinney where the incident took place last weekend.
McKinney Chief of Police Greg Conley said this evening that Casebolt’s actions on the cell phone recording of the incident were “indefensible.”
“Our policies, our training, our practice do not support his actions,” he added.
Conley described Casebolt as being “out of control,” while praising the actions of the 11 other officers on the scene.
“I had 12 officers on the scene and 11 of them… did an incredible job,” Conley said.
Conley confirmed that there had been some other complaints against Casebolt, but Conley could not go into specifics.
