City prosecutors indicted Baltimore Police Officer Donyell Briggs on charges of misconduct in office and second-degree assault based on a Feb. 4, 2010 altercation with Ricky Thomas. Video appears to show Briggs striking Thomas without warning, and Thomas says Briggs misrepresented the circumstances of the assault in court documents. A second officer who witnessed the incident filed a use of force and subsequently was interviewed by prosecutors. Briggs was given probation before judgment at a trial last month.
