Former Minneapolis police officer Justin Stetson charged with assaulting Jaleel Stallings in 2020
https://www.cbsnews.com/minnesota/news/former-minneapolis-police-officer-justin-stentson-charged-with-assaulting-jaleel-stallings-in-2020/MINNEAPOLIS – Attorney General Keith Ellison charged a former Minneapolis police officer Wednesday with beating a man during protests over George Floyd's death.
Justin Stetson, 34, faces one felony count of third-degree assault in connection with the May 30, 2020, beating of Jaleel Stallings. He would face up to five years in prison if convicted.
It wasn't immediately clear whether Stetson has an attorney. A Minneapolis city attorney who represented him and other officers in a federal lawsuit Stallings filed against them didn't immediately respond to an email inquiring if she knew if Stetson has a criminal defense attorney.
According to the criminal complaint, Stetson was among a group of officers enforcing a city-wide curfew that night when his group spotted four people in a parking lot. One of them was Stallings.
