A Los Angeles County police officer has been charged in connection with the arrest of a 16-year-old male he allegedly kicked after the teen had surrendered and was lying face down on the ground, Los Angeles County District Attorney George Gascón announced Wednesday.
Former Baldwin Park police officer Ryan Felton, 35, was charged with two felony counts of assault and was taken into custody after a warrant was issued for his arrest, the district attorney's office said in a statement. Felton pleaded not guilty to the charges.
CNN has reached out to Felton's attorney, Joshua Visco, for comment but has not yet gotten a response.
