Oyogist.com has learned that a federal grand jury in Minneapolis has resurfaced indictments against former police officer Derek Chauvin and three others linked to George Floyd’s death.
The officers were indicted for violating Floyd’s constitutional rights.
The first three-count indictment charges Chauvin and former officers Tou Thao, 35; J. Alexander Kueng, 27; and Thomas Lane, 38, with acting under the color of law in willfully denying Floyd his constitutional rights.
The second two-count indictment linked with Chauvin accused him of holding a teenager by the throat and striking him multiple times in the head.
“The charges announced today are separate from the Justice Department’s civil pattern or practice investigation into the City of Minneapolis and the Minneapolis Police Department,” the Justice Department said in a statement.
