A Travis County grand jury declined to indict an officer caught on video during a violent arrest in which he used pepper spray on a handcuffed man.

Jurors had considered a possible indictment against Officer Cameron Caldwell on assault.

The case stems from the arrest of a man visiting from Chicago during the South by Southwest Music Festival in March.

Officers had detained the man and placed him inside a police transport van. He kicked the door of the van multiple times and continued to do so after Caldwell ordered him several times to stop, an Austin Police Department disciplinary memo said. After the man disobeyed him again, Caldwell opened the door, sprayed him in the face with pepper spray and shut the door. The man was handcuffed and seated at the time.

A member of the group Peaceful Streets captured the incident on video, which was widely circulated online.

Then-Police Chief Art Acevedo in August suspended Caldwell for 45 days over the incident. But police officials also referred the case to prosecutors for their review.

Caldwell admitted to wrongdoing during a disciplinary hearing. Caldwell has no previous history of improper behavior, which Acevedo said contributed to his decision not to fire Caldwell.

It is unusual for prosecutors to present to a grand jury use-of-force cases that don’t involve lethal force. They’ve done so in Travis County four times since January 2012. None of the cases resulted in criminal charges.

The most recent was the violent arrest of teacher Breaion King in June 2015 by officer Bryan Richter, an incident the American-Statesman revealed in July. Last month, a grand jury declined to indict Richter on any charge.
