An Aurora police officer beat an unarmed man with his duty pistol, choked him and threatened to kill him even though the man never attempted to hurt or threaten the officer, investigators allege in court documents. Body camera footage of the arrest played during a Tuesday news conference showed Officer John Haubert choking and hitting a man who was under arrest on a warrant even as the man yelled for help and cried. Aurora police Chief Vanessa Wilson called Haubert’s actions a “very despicable act” and said she is thankful the man he hit is still alive. “We’re disgusted,” Wilson said. “We’re angry. This is not police work. We don’t train this. It’s not acceptable.” Haubert faces three felony charges — attempted first-degree assault, second-degree assault and felony menacing — as well as misdemeanor charges of official oppression and official misconduct in connection to the violent arrest on Friday. A second officer at the scene, Francine Martinez, faces criminal charges for not intervening in Haubert’s use of force. The two officers have turned themselves in and bonded out of jail.
