LOVELAND, Colo.
The officers are the subject of a federal civil lawsuit filed April 14 against the Loveland Police Department on behalf of Garner by attorney Sarah Schielke, alleging excessive use of force by the department, officers Austin Hopp and Daria Jalali, and Sgt.
Garner suffered a fractured arm and dislocated shoulder in the June 26, 2020, incident at a Walmart in Loveland, according to the original lawsuit.
The arrest put Garner in the hospital and drastically worsened her dementia symptoms, her family told The Denver Post.
According to the video released by Schielke, Hopp and Jalali were rewatching body camera footage of the arrest and were laughing about it while Garner was handcuffed to a bench in a nearby cell, The Washington Post reported.
On Tuesday, a Loveland police spokesperson told The Washington Post that four officers, including Hopp, have been suspended.
“This is not how I want my city to be known,” Marsh told the Reporter-Herald.
