NEW YORK — Tippecanoe County prosecutor Patrick Harrington is calling for the Indiana State Police to investigate an alleged incident caught on video that showed a Purdue University police officer with his elbow pressed against the neck and face of a Black student in the snow.
Purdue student Adonis Tuggle told ABC News he and his girlfriend were driving to his apartment from Purdue's recreational center on Feb. 4 when they began to have a"disagreement." He said they pulled over and were arguing on the side of the road when Purdue University police officer Jon Selke and other officers arrived.
Tuggle said his girlfriend tried to tell Selke the situation was under control and that he was her boyfriend, but Selke told her to"shut the ---- up," according to Tuggle."That's when I stepped forward in front of my girlfriend to take over the conversation, and I told Officer Selke, 'OK, so don't tell my girlfriend to shut the ---- up. There's no need to be disrespectful," Tuggle said.
Tuggle was arrested and charged with resisting arrest. He paid his $250 bond and was released after an hour in the Tippecanoe County jail. Tuggle said shortly after the incident he temporarily experience a lot of pain in his shoulder and his joints.The Indiana State Police will independently review all evidence associated with the police call and response, including all available video evidence, witness statements, and police reports, Purdue said in a statement.
"The video from body-worn cameras will be made available, as will all findings and evidence from the internal review when complete," Cox said in a statement.
