MORE: Attorney says Riverside PD chief ‘skewed facts’ about excessive force claim
Those charges were cleared this week, according to Montgomery County Municipal Court records.
William Daly, an attorney for Shawhan, last week told NewsCenter 7’s James Buchele he believes a police officer assaulted his client.
Shawhan had suffered a seizure and could not cogently answer the officer’s questions as he sat in the police cruiser, Daly said. Shawhan had been involved in a crash that day. His arrest stemmed from that incident.
Riverside police said Officer Ron Reardon responded to the call. Following the incident, he was placed on paid leave during a four-month state investigation of his actions that night.
Reardon later served a three-day suspension for “policy violations during the incident,” according to a statement from Riverside Police Chief Frank Robinson.
