North Carolina Police Officer Fired After Video Captures Him Repeatedly Punching Woman During Arrest
The State Bureau of Investigation is reviewing excessive-force allegations after the video spread online and protests followed, officials said.
- A Shelby, North Carolina police officer was fired Saturday after viral doorbell camera footage showed him repeatedly punching 34-year-old Cherrie Moore during an arrest. Shelby Police Chief Brad Fraser announced the termination following an administrative investigation.
- Officers were conducting a criminal investigation on Friday when they encountered a 'suspicious female in the area,' Fraser said. Arrest warrants identify the officer as Karson Hyder, who wrestled Moore to the ground before punching her.
- The video shows the officer repeatedly punching Moore, who sustained a broken nose and black eyes, until a second officer intervened. Retired detective Michael Alcazar told CNN the officer 'employed force far beyond what the situation required.'
- Moore faces charges including resisting a public officer and assault, initially held on a $10,000 bond before release. Protesters gathered at the department Friday, while Shelby City Manager Justin Merritt pledged a 'path forward to repair the damage.'
- The North Carolina State Bureau of Investigation is conducting an independent review of potential criminal violations. This incident adds to ongoing scrutiny of police conduct in the Tar Heel State, following years of protests over power abuse.
