LAPD Chief Michel Moore confirmed Tuesday that a categorical use of force investigation had been launched into the recent arrest of New Orleans Pelicans center Jaxson Hayes, who had an altercation with officers responding to a domestic dispute report last week.
According to Chief Moore, the probe involves “the possibility of force being applied to the suspect’s neck during the use of force in taking him into custody” early last Wednesday morning. The incident was initially investigated as non-categorical, which is a lower-level use of force.
