A former Missouri police officer has been indicted by a grand jury on a misdemeanor assault charge for allegedly injuring a 17-year-old by pulling him from his car by his arm and clothing during a traffic stop.
The St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports 40-year-old Charles Thomas Lancey was charged Wednesday with fourth-degree assault in connection to the August 2020 incident. It is unclear whether Lancey has retained a defense attorney.
Lancey was fired from the Ballwin Police Department last September.
