Franklin Township Cop Who Kicked Restrained Suspect Resigns

WCBE files

The Franklin Township police officer captured on video kicking a handcuffed suspect has resigned. 

Robert Wells was placed on administrative leave after the video of the May 1 incident was posted online. The video shows Wells kicking Anthony Foster Junior during a traffic stop. Wells was fired from the Pataskala police department after using excessive force against a man in 2002.

Jim has been with WCBE since 1996. Before that he worked as a reporter at another Columbus radio station, and for three newspapers in Southwest Florida.
