Baytown Beatdown: Three Officers Indicted

[TexasTowelie]

Two Baytown Police Officers and a Detention Officer are indicted on aggravated assault charges for targeting, tasering and beating innocent and unarmed Black man in 2019.


A controversial case that the Houston Forward Times has reported on since the despicable incident occurred in July 2019, has a new update. Two Baytown police officers and an alleged civilian who were caught on video camera severely assaulting an innocent Black man in Baytown, Texas, have been indicted on serious aggravated assault charges.

The despicable acts of police brutality caught on video camera, involving the then-45-year-old Kedrick Crawford, who is African American, became a national story. The story even got the attention of nationally-renowned civil rights attorney Ben Crump.

Baytown Police Officers Teddy Sims and Samuel Serrett, along with Detention Officer Shane Dunlap, are all facing a prison sentence for aggravated assault that ranges from 5 to 99 years, or even life in prison, if they are convicted here in Texas.

Civil rights attorney U.A. Lewis, who represents Crawford, is thrilled with the indictments, but states that there were more police officers involved and is seeking more indictments. She hopes that more information about this case can be made public.
