A judge on Thursday ordered the release of police camera footage of an incident in which a Greeley officer is accused of using a chokehold during an arrest, siding with news media that argued a new Colorado law requires disclosure of video upon request involving alleged police misconduct.
Officer Ken Amick was charged with second-degree assault on June 28 after he allegedly put a suspect in a chokehold on June 7. In July, Weld County District Court Judge Vincente Geraldo Vigil blocked the release of footage after Amick and prosecutors argued it could prejudice a potential jury.
