“When (Cole) punched me in the face, she looked at him like he was crazy,” Yourse said.

Carruthers said Wednesday that Cole declined to be interviewed as part of the criminal investigation into the charges against Yourse. Cole also declined to be interviewed by the police department’s Professional Standards Division after his resignation, Carruthers said.

The investigation continued, though. Carruthers said Cole was found to have violated four police department directives:

Use of force.

Courtesy toward the public.

Arrest, search and seizure.

Compliance to laws and regulations.

Carruthers said the department never took action against Cole because he resigned before the investigation ended.

Yourse said he didn’t know about the council’s decision to show the footage until Wednesday. Police weren’t able to contact him, he said, because his phone has been disconnected.

He said he has spoken to a lawyer about the matter and will watch the footage today with his mother. He said he could see by the look on Cole’s face that he wasn’t going to treat him fairly.
