The Associated Press on Wednesday published edited body camera footage from Greene’s arrest on May 10, 2019, following a pursuit that may have started with Greene driving erratically, including allegedly running a red light, according to audio from the video.
The video from Wednesday and Friday shows a trooper wrestling Greene to the ground, putting him in a chokehold and punching him in the face.
Greene shouted, “I’m sorry!” as another trooper delivered shocks to him with a taser. The video released Friday appeared to record Greene saying, “Help.” At least six troopers were present during the arrest.
Video released Friday showed that Hollingsworth made a speakerphone call in his police vehicle after Greene’s arrest.
“Well, this guy was drunk, and I think he was wet,” he said. “I beat the ever-living f— out of him. Choked him and everything else trying to get him under control.
An autopsy identified Greene’s cause of death as “cocaine-induced agitated delirium complicated by motor vehicle collision, physical struggle, inflicted head injury and restraint,” according to the AP.
