Ombudsman backs police on beating in Des Moines
Iowa state Ombudsman William Angrick concluded Des Moines officers did not use excessive force in the December arrest of Larry Milton. The 131 page report found Milton fought officers with superhuman strength and may have tried to grab a gun before being struck with a flashlight. Angrick criticized public comments by Police Chief William Moulder as out of line and urged reforms in internal investigations. He found the three officers blameless and noted conflicting accounts of whether Milton was handcuffed and whether his coat came off during the struggle.
