RadioOnFire.com - The former Baltimore police officer who was caught on video beating a man has been indicted by a grand jury on first- and second-degree assault and misconduct in office, Baltimore City State's Attorney Marilyn Mosby announced Tuesday.
Officer Arthur Williams was seen in viral video repeatedly beating a man Saturday on East Monument Street. He is no longer part of the Baltimore Police Department. On the force for just a little over a year, he resigned Sunday night.

Interim Police Commissioner Gary Tuggle said Monday that what he saw on the video was extremely disturbing and disappointing.
"Neither of us can say why this happened. If it were out of emotion, we should be trained to never act in an emotional way, particularly when it comes to engaging with citizens," Tuggle said.
A second officer seen in the video is on administrative duties as the investigation continues.
