The Police Merit Commission is deciding to table the alleged misconduct cases of four Evansville Police Officers.

The Merit Commission says the conclusion of an investigation by Indiana State Police will trigger action by the police department, the officers, or the commission itself.

Leadership for the Fraternal Order of Police gathered outside the Merit Commission meeting on Monday.

The four officers accused of misconduct were suspended last month. Those suspensions expired on Monday, but none of the officers are heading back to the force just yet.

The suspensions were related to body cam video which shows Officer Nick Henderson apparently striking a handcuffed suspect after being stuck by a needle in the suspect’s pocket.

Officer Henderson, Officer Mark DeCamps, and Officer Marcus Craig were all suspended for 21 days and Chief Billy Bolin recommended that the three be fired. Sgt. Kyle Kassel was also suspended and Chief Bolin recommended he be demoted.

The officers claimed there was a struggle, but the video appears to contradict that along with what was written in the probable cause affidavit.

All four officers will now be placed on paid leave pending the investigation spearheaded by Indiana State Police.

ISP Troopers say they have completed their work and are meeting with the Vanderburgh County Prosecutor on Friday.

All four officers are appealing their suspensions.
