MEMPHIS, Tenn. — Two of the former Memphis police officers charged in the death of Tyre Nichols were previously reprimanded for not filing required paperwork after forcibly arresting individuals, ABC News has learned.
ABC News obtained personnel records for Tadarrius Bean, Demetrius Haley, Emmitt Martin III, Desmond Mills Jr. and Justin Smith, all of whom were fired from the Memphis Police Department last month before being arrested and charged with several felonies, including second-degree murder.
The records show Haley also failed to submit a"Response to Resistance" form after using force to assist other officers with arresting a woman in 2021. According to the case summary, Haley"grabbed [her] by the arm and turned her around to be handcuff as she resisted arrest." He then"helped another officer with putting [her] in the backseat of a squad car," the case summary stated.
After the incident, Nichols"complained of having a shortness of breath" and was transported by ambulance to Memphis' St. Francis Hospital in critical condition, according to police. Video of the incident, comprised of footage from the city's surveillance cameras and the former officers' body-worn cameras, was made public last Friday. The graphic video, which shows the officers beating Nichols, has sparked nationwide outrage.
