With the release of former Lt. Dewayne Smith's internal hearing records, a fuller picture is beginning to form around Tyre Nichols' beating.
The administrative hearing records of seven officers were obtained by the USA TODAY Network through a public records request to the Peace Officer Standards and Training Commission, or POST, Tennessee's board for law enforcement certification and decertification. The latest of those files helps fill in missing details on what happened during and after Nichols' beating.
"It has been an honor to serve the city that I call my home for the past 25 years," Smith wrote in the letter, which was included with internal investigation documents."During these years, I have been blessed to some challenging assignments with some great people. Retirement from the department was not an easy decision. I came to realize that the time has come to move on."
Neither Haley nor Martin told Nichols why he had been stopped or that he was being arrested, but Haley pulled him from the car. As Nichols was pulled from the car, Martin grabbed one of Nichols' wrists. Hemphill arrived at the scene around this time. Eventually, Nichols can be seen on body camera footage jumping up and running from the officers. As he runs away, Hemphill fires his taser at Nichols. It's not clear if the prongs ever hit Nichols, but he rips his jacket off as he runs.
As other officers arrived, Nichols was punched, kicked, pepper-sprayed and struck with a baton as two officers – Justin Smith and Bean – held Nichols' arms. The beating happened over the course of about three minutes, and he was eventually handcuffed and then leaned against a squad cruiser.
