The former officer was found guilty of gross misconduct following a misconduct hearing.
A former Devon and Cornwall Police Officer has been found guilty of gross misconduct after he allegedly strangled a detainee in hospital.
He received an Adult Police Caution for common assault by beating in August 2023, before resigning from the force in February 2024 while under investigation for gross misconduct. It said the former police constable admitted placing his hand around the throat of the detainee and effectively strangling him for a short-period of time, in a short pre-prepared statement given to the investigating officer in July 2023.Inmates return to HMP Dartmoor amid 'new regime' to remove radon gas
He claimed those representing him coerced him into signing his admission and accepting the police caution, and that he was left with no other choice but to do so, the force said.
