The Springfield school resource officer caught on video shoving a High School of Commerce student into a wall has been charged with assault and battery and filing a false report.

Officer Angel Marrero’s arrest of the 15-year-old student sparked public outcry in February when video of the confrontation circulated on social media, showing the officer grab the boy by the back of the neck and forcefully push him against the side of a school hallway.

Marrero wrote in a police report obtained by MassLive that the student initiated the physical confrontation by shoving him in the chest -- a claim contradicted by the video footage. The Office of Hampden District Attorney Anthony Gulluni launched an investigation of Marrero’s conduct, tasking its state police detectives with figuring out whether the officer broke the law.

That investigation has been completed, and Marrero is now scheduled for arraignment on June 21 in Springfield District Court.

“The inaccuracies made by Marrero in the police report that he authored and submitted were intentional. The inaccuracies, if true, would have justified Marrero to use reasonable physical force to place the student under arrest,” Springfield District Court Assistant Clerk-Magistrate Kenneth Chaffee wrote in his decision finding probable cause for the criminal complaint to move forward.

“The inclusion of the inaccuracies about the student striking the officer in the report was to embellish the student’s disrespectful behavior in an effort to justify Marrero’s physical response,” Chaffee continued.

Marrero is the latest Springfield police officer to face allegations of falsifying official reports. Fourteen current and former Springfield officers have been indicted on allegations of either participating in or covering up the alleged 2015 beating of four men outside Nathan Bill’s Bar and Restaurant. And a Springfield narcotics detective, Luke Cournoyer, admitted to a grand jury last year that he lied to internal investigators to cover up the alleged kicking of a handcuffed juvenile suspect.

The city of Springfield did not immediately return a request for information about Marrero’s duty status. Marrero’s attorney Terrence Dunphy declined to comment.

“As I have stated before, our Police Officers not only must wear their badge in a brave fashion, but just as important with honesty, integrity and professionalism," Mayor Domenic Sarno said in a statement. "When they don’t, and as we have done in the past, Acting Police Commissioner Cheryl Clapprood, the Community Police Hearing Board and I will pursue actions to rectify the situation at hand.”

The incident dates back to the afternoon of Dec. 3. Marrero was in a second floor Commerce High hallway as students moved between classes when the student allegedly walked by and called Marrero a “p****y,” Marrero wrote in his police report

“I was shocked by this comment as I had no prior interaction with [the student.] I then asked him ‘what did you say?’ as I was perplexed as to why he would even be making such a comment towards me," Marrero wrote. “[The student] then at this time stated ‘You’re a p***y and I’ll slap the s**t out of you!' "

Video of the encounter appears to show the student make eye contact with Marrero and say something.

Marrero claimed in his report that the student then “with two hands reached out and pushed me in the chest area,” prompting the officer to place him under arrest. But the video shows that the student did not walk toward Marrero or shove him. Rather, about five seconds after the student’s comments, Marrero moved toward the student, grabbed him by the back of the neck and pushed him up against the wall. The student then resisted and struggled as Marrero attempted to handcuff him.

The department launched an internal investigation of the incident in December. And in February, after school security footage showing the arrest spread on social media, Gulluni announced he was launching a criminal review of the matter.

On March 5, Gulluni asked the captain of his office’s state police unit to begin an investigation, according to an investigative report included in court filings.

Captain Christopher Wilcox began reviewing footage and media coverage of the incident, and set up interviews with the alleged victim and an array of student and staff witnesses at the High School of Commerce.

The eight students and two staffers interviewed by state police gave generally consistent accounts of what happened, Wilcox wrote, with some variations in what they heard the student say to Marrero. Most reported that the student called the officer a name or a slur. And while some said they heard the student say he would slap Marrero, all said that comment came only after Marrero had already shoved the student into the wall.

“All 10 witnesses stated that [the student] initiated the verbal contact with Officer Marrero that day,” Wilcox wrote. “Additionally, the witnesses stated that Officer Marrero then responded by assaulting [the student] while grabbing him (by the neck) and pushing him violently into the wall. The surveillance video corroborates these 10 witnesses.”

Wilcox also wrote that Marrero falsely accused the student of assaulting him.

“Officer Marrero was not assaulted. He was not presented with behavior which would have resulted in an assessment that the actions of this student would result in bodily harm to the officer,” Wilcox wrote.

The student was also not truthful when he told internal investigators in December that he had not called Marrero a name, Wilcox wrote. Wilcox wrote that he and another trooper could not find evidence in the video that Marrero punched the student in the face, as the student claimed.

The state police report does not include an interview with Marrero himself. But the officer previously told internal investigators that he did not deliberately falsify his report.

"At no time did I ever have the intention to write the arrest report of [redacted] in a manner that could be perceived as deceitful nor did I write it with the intention of being deceitful,” Marrero wrote to internal affairs in December.

The student was initially arrested and charged with assault and battery on a police officer, resisting arrest and threatening to commit a crime. But those charges were dropped after Gulluni’s office reviewed video of the encounter.
