Las Vegas officer suspended in videotaped beating case

[Bluebear]

A Las Vegas police officer under investigation for a videotaped beating of a man has been suspended with pay pending completion of an internal investigation, police said Saturday...

On the night of March 20, Crooks, 36, was standing in his driveway in the 1700 block of Commanche Circle, near East Desert Inn Road and South Maryland Parkway, while videotaping police as they investigated a reported burglary across the street. When Crooks refused to stop filming, Colling allegedly attacked him -- with much of the altercation recorded by the camera...

On Saturday, District Attorney David Roger said no criminal case against Colling has been submitted to his office.

Colling has been involved in two fatal shootings in his 5 1/2 years as a Las Vegas police officer. In 2006, he and four other officers shot Shawn Jacob Collins after the 43-year-old man pulled a gun at an east valley gas station. In 2009, he confronted a mentally ill 15-year-old Tanner Chamberlain, who was holding a knife in front of his mother and waving it in the direction of officers. Colling shot him in the head. Both shootings were ruled justified by Clark County coroner's juries.
