Four of five Memphis officers charged with killing Tyre Nichols after violently beating him had infractions on their records from previous police work.
Records showed Bean was the only officer who did not have previous infractions or penalties in his administrative records. All five were hired between March 2017 and August 2020, and all were members of a crime-suppression unit that was disbanded after Nichols’ death.
Such forms are filled out when an officer uses force or physical means to restrain a person deemed to be resisting arrest. In the documents, Memphis police stated that response to resistance included “the use of any part of the officer’s body to compel compliance.”Lawyers for Haley, Martin and Mills declined to comment. A lawyer for Smith did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
During an administrative hearing, Haley said he understood the policy but was “simply mistaken” about the amount of force necessary in the situation. He received a written reprimand, records showed. A lieutenant cited in the documents for that case said Haley was a “hard-working officer” who routinely made good decisions.Mills also received written reprimand after he “physically assisted” other officers during an arrest March 21, 2019.
Martin also was suspended for three days after he left a gun on the rear floor of his car after a shift.Smith received a two-day suspension after his police car was involved in a crash with two other vehicles.
