Review finds Madison police behavior in teen's forceful arrest 'legally justifiable' but flawed
An external review of the forceful June 3 detention of a black teenager in the midst of a mental health crisis has found Madison police actions “legally justifiable,” but also says officers missed opportunities that might have led to a better outcome.
UW-Madison Police Lt. John McCaughtry, who conducted the review, said officers didn’t do enough to engage in a dialogue with the 17-year-old and that left them with fewer options once the teen went into a confined area in his home and resisted police attempts to handcuff him.
