Matt Dages was fired by the police department following his controversial May 27, 2020, arrest of 23-year-old Amaurie Johnson and allegations that he lied on his police report stemming from the arrest.
A judge has again ruled against former La Mesa police officer Matthew Dages in his bid to overturn the city of La Mesa's decision to uphold his firing.
In a ruling issued Tuesday, San Diego Superior Court Judge Katherine Bacal confirmed her earlier tentative ruling that the city's Personnel Appeals Board's decision was"supported by the weight of the evidence." Dages was fired by the police department following his controversial May 27, 2020, arrest of 23-year-old Amaurie Johnson and allegations that he lied on his police report stemming from the arrest. He was later charged with a felony count of filing a false police report, though an El Cajon jury acquitted him last year.
Bacal noted some of the board's findings in her ruling, including that Dages' statements that Johnson was smoking and engaged in"pre-assaultive behavior" were"false and misleading," and that Dages"directed discourteous, derogatory, profane and insolent comments at Johnson" following the arrest. Johnson's arrest near the Grossmont Transit Center sparked protests in the East County city when a video of the incident went viral. He was later released on a misdemeanor citation and criminal charges were not filed against him.Tags
