A Former TN Officer Is Convicted of Excessive Force Charges
A former Tennessee law enforcement officer was convicted Friday of federal civil rights offenses for using excessive force against two suspects, federal prosecutors said.
Anthony “Tony” Bean, 61, faced a bench trial on charges related to separate incidents in 2014 and 2017.
In 2014, when he was acting as the Tracy City police chief, Bean used excessive force twice during an arrest, a statement from the US Attorney’s Office for the Eastern District of Tennessee said.
