The Massachusetts State Police trooper involved in the beating of Richard Simone during his arrest following a high-speed, multi-state chase has been suspended with pay pending an investigation into the incident.

The trooper, whose name has not been released, is one of a group of officers seen on video beating the 50-year-old Worcester resident during an arrest in Nashua, New Hampshire Wednesday.

Video cameras captured the arrest of Simone after he led officer on a 50-mile chase that started in Holden. The video shows Simone on his hands and knees outside his truck when officers swarmed him and started punching him.

Records show Simone was wanted on charges for allegedly driving his car at a police officer's cruiser in Millbury on Sunday. Simone was arraigned in a New Hampshire court Thursday, where he waived rendition on a fugitive from justice charge.

According to a press release from state police, a hearing was held Friday that determined the trooper would be suspended with pay pending the outcome of an investigation the state police is performing into the arrest.

The New Hampshire attorney general's office is also investigating the incident and a New Hampshire state trooper involved has also been suspended.

State police said the trooper is 32 and assigned to the Andover Barracks. He has been on the department since October 2011.
