Three police officers are suspended in Miami, OK

— Three Miami police officers are on administrative leave with pay after a videotape surfaced showing two of the officers allegedly using excessive force on a male suspect during a traffic stop.

District Attorney Eddie Wyant released a statement Wednesday night saying, “information has been provided to my office that possibly supports the fact that perjury and/or unnecessary physical use of force by more than one Miami police officer has occurred in a recent Ottawa County case.”

Wyant recused himself from the case, saying “investigatory decisions” will be made by the state attorney general's office.

Acting Police Chief Thomas Anderson confirmed three officers were on leave and they were the subject of an “internal inquiry.”
