Officer forced man to lick urine off the floor, Mississippi officials say. He’s fired
An officer was fired after his “disturbing” actions toward an arrestee were caught on video, Mississippi officials said.
Ex-patrolman Michael Christian Green was accused of forcing a man to lick his own urine off the floor, City of Pearl spokesperson Therese Apel said in a March 13 news release.
Criminal information against Green was unsealed March 13, detailing a charge stemming from the Dec. 23 video, according to city officials. The footage was also sent to the FBI.
Green was fired on Dec. 27 after an internal investigation, the city said.
“Michael Green does not represent the values and standards within the Pearl Police Department,” Apel said in the release. “The charged actions have both embarrassed and dishonored the faithful officers who serve and protect our city every day.”
Candace Gregory, a former prosecutor and the director of Mississippi’s Public Integrity Division, aided in the city’s investigation and will review the police department’s policies and procedures, according to the release.
Training assistance will also be provided, the city said.
Pearl is about a 5-mile drive southeast from downtown Jackson.
