A former Antioch police officer has been charged with assault, according to the Antioch Police Department.
Matthew Nutt allegedly assaulted a man during an arrest in a July 2022 traffic stop, said officials. Nutt is also accused of violating several department policies on force: using unreasonable force, failure to de-escalate, and failing to use "alternative tactics."
An internal investigation against Nutt was conducted, and Nutt was moved into a role where he had no "direct public contact." He was fired on April 21, 2023. Contra Costa CountyPolice said the accusations stem from an incident where Nutt stopped a car for not displaying their license plates. Nutt soon learned a passenger, and not the driver, had outstanding warrants and placed the suspect under arrest.
When the suspect was on the ground, he told officers he will get into their car if they let him up. Nutt was also heard threatening the suspect with a Taser. At least six officers and four cars responded to the scene. The driver was briefly detained and was told by an officer that "[his] friend is being an a-hole."
