Murder of Andre Hill
[10] He had received "documented constructive counseling" for discourtesy toward citizens (such as swearing), irresponsible driving, smoking while on duty, and failure to use police-car microphones.[10] In October 2012, the division, after an internal investigation and hearing, found that Coy had used excessive force after he slammed a suspected drunk driver's head four times against the hood of a police car, an incident captured on dashboard camera.[11] Coy and another officer, who has been identified as Amy Detweiler, responded to a non-emergency call around 1:49 AM about a car repeatedly turning on and off near 1000 Oberlin Drive.Around the same time Coy and Detweiler arrived at the scene, Hill was leaving a friend's house while holding an illuminated smartphone in his left hand.[15] Video recordings from Coy and others show that none of the multiple officers on the scene made an attempt to render first aid to Hill until ten minutes after he was shot.[7][15] The latter two charges are based on Coy's failure to activate his body camera and failing to alert Officer Detweiller that he believed Hill posed a threat.[15] His trial was initially scheduled for March 7, 2022,[20] but was postponed until November to allow Coy to recover from a recent hip replacement surgery.[36] The ordinance provides that failure to turn on a camera or render first aid could result in departmental discipline or—if done with "reckless disregard"—criminal charges for dereliction of duty.[35] In July 2021, State Representative Dontavius Jarrells introduced House Bill 367 to make the Law statewide.
