According to the GBI, a Hapeville police officer was arrested after using a taser on an arrested man “multiple times”

A Hapeville police officer was arrested Friday following a use-of-force investigation that began earlier this week, the GBI said.

Officer Shevoy Brown, 29, was booked into the Fulton County Jail on assault and breach of oath of office charges. The investigation into Brown began on June 4, when Hapeville police asked the GBI to investigate a use of force incident.

According to the state agency, Brown responded to a 911 call on June 3 and arrested a man, whom he then took to the police station for processing. Brown is accused of “repeatedly” using a Taser on the man in a “manner that was inconsistent with police station training and policies,” the GBI said.

The man was medically evaluated and booked into Fulton Jail on a misdemeanor charge. Officials did not disclose the extent of his injuries.

The Atlanta Journal-Constitution has reached out to Hapeville police for more information about Brown.
