POLICE ABUSE: Officer on desk duty as police review use of force in arrest outside PPG Paints Arena
PITTSBURGH - A police officer is now on desk duty as the Pittsburgh Bureau of Police is reviewing police officers’ use of force during an arrest Tuesday night outside PPG Paints Arena after cellphone video came to light.
In a statement Wednesday, Mayor Bill Peduto said, "Officer Andrew Jacobs has been placed on desk duty pending the outcome of the reviews. Our police officers are trained to de-escalate situations. This is part of the protocol of the Pittsburgh Bureau of Police. We have zero tolerance for deviation to that standard."
Police said the incident started shortly after 10:30 p.m. when officers spotted a warrant suspect, 34-year-old David Jones, near the intersection of Lemieux Place and Centre Avenue. Jones was wanted out of Cranberry Township on forgery charges and previously fled from a Pittsburgh officer who tried to serve a warrant.
According to the criminal complaint, when officers approached Jones, "Jones looked at me and stated, 'You're the officer I ran from before, aren't you?' Jones then attempted bull rush."
