A former Colorado police officer shown on body camera video roughly arresting a 73-year-old woman with dementia has pleaded guilty to assault in a plea deal objected to by the woman’s family.
The Associated Press
Hopp arrested Karen Garner in 2020 after she left a store without paying for about $14 worth of items in Loveland, about 50 miles north of Denver. Police body camera video shows that after she turned away from him, he grabbed her arm and pushed her to the ground, still holding the wildflowers she had been picking as she walked through a field.
Speaking on behalf of Garner's extended family, Garner's daughter-in-law Shannon Steward told Judge Michelle Brinegar that the family never wanted a plea deal, which she said tend to be used when there is a lack of evidence or an inability to prove a case.
