Richmond police Officer Eric Smith Jr. has been placed on administrative leave in connection with the April 9 incident.
RICHMOND — The Contra Costa County District Attorney’s Office is considering criminal charges against a Richmond police officer who allegedly hit a man with a stun gun dozens of times during a struggle last April.
The Richmond Police Department has called a Wednesday news conference to announce the investigation and release videos of the alleged incident, which was captured by a nearby surveillance camera as well as Smith’s body camera, authorities said. In his report, Smith said he believed the man was in possession of a firearm, but no gun was found on the man, law enforcement sources told this news organization.
Smith, a Brentwood native, has worked for the San Francisco Sheriff’s Department and the Pittsburg Police Department, as well as a prior brief stint at Richmond, according to state payroll records. In June 2021, the city of Richmond releasedabout Smith in which he called law enforcement “my calling” and said his goal was to “be on the street where I can reach people and prevent them from getting to the county jail.
