Federal and state prosecutors have dropped all criminal charges against a former Anchorage police officer accused of punching, kicking and unlawfully arresting a man in exchange for the promise he won’t seek a law enforcement job again.
in October 2020 on charges of deprivation of civil rights and falsification of records during a federal investigation.issued after the July 2020 indictment said the officers failed the community and disappointed the department. Pettus and Stout were both placed on unpaid administrative leave following the indictment. Pettus had been on paid leave for roughly nine months prior. He remained on unpaid leave until he resigned.
In both instances, Pettus used excessive force and violated the police department’s policy, the motions said.In the second incident, the motion said Pettus was served with a complaint notifying him about an allegation of excessive force, but officials did not serve him with paperwork detailing the findings of the investigation. The Internal Affairs team found that he had violated policy, but Pettus was not disciplined, the motion said. Neither of the situations resulted in criminal charges.
Pettus, 35, grew up in a law enforcement family, Campion said. He worked as a community service officer at the University of Southern California and the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Office before joining APD in 2015. State Deputy Attorney General John Skidmore said he considers the agreement reached in Pettus’ case to be a successful prosecution. Federal and state prosecutors worked together to reach the same agreement, he said.
