The city of Antioch is resisting subpoenas by saying at least five officers, including at least two under criminal investigation, have been injured in the line of duty.
The city of Antioch is resisting subpoenas for at least five of its police officers called to testify about racism and alleged crimes within the department, claiming the officers are out on injury leave and therefore unavailable, this news organization has learned.
Those documents, obtained by this news organization, say the five won’t be available to testify in a Friday hearing that will explore the department’s alleged violations of the Racial Justice Act. The hearing could result in serious criminal charges being dismissed against four men accused of committing a series of gang-related shootings.
Defense attorneys for the four defendants have subpoenaed at least fifteen officers, apparently hoping to question them not just about the offensive texts, but alleged crimes committed by their colleagues.
Amiri’s work-related injury claim argued that he had a duty to keep his dog in shape. In response, the city processed his claim but also sent two high-ranking officers to Amiri’s home, who informed him that since he was injured he couldn’t continue ownership of Purcy, and confiscated the animal, the sources said. Purcy’s current whereabouts are unknown.All five officers have been implicated in at least one of the ongoing scandals plaguing the Antioch police force since early 2022.
