Officer accused of backing into woman

A police officer accused of being verbally abusive toward a woman and hitting her with his patrol car appeared before the Indianapolis Metropolitan Police Department Board of Captains on Wednesday to determine whether he’ll be disciplined.

Turner argues the judge was wrong in admitting certain evidence and that there was insufficient evidence to sustain the convictions.
