A former Aurora police officer is set to go on trial for his actions in the 2021 arrest of a Black man, after he swatted his hands at the officer’s weapon. The trial follows the convictions last year of a police officer and two paramedics in the death of Elijah McClain.
A now-former Aurora police officer is set to go on trial for his actions in the 2021 arrest of a Black man, after he swatted his hands at the officer’s weapon, according to body camera footage and court documents . The violent arrest in the Denver suburb of Aurora has put the former officer, John Haubert , on trial facing assault and other charges with opening statements expected Tuesday.
The trial follows the convictions last year of a police officer and two paramedics from the city’s fire department in the 2019 death of Elijah McClain, who was put in a neckhold by police before being injected with the sedative ketamine by paramedics. Haubert’s lawyer, Reid Elkus, did not immediately respond to a request for comment to the allegations but said at a recent court hearing that there was a rush by police to investigate and charge Haubert. Haubert, who resigned, has pleaded not guilty
