PD destroyed video of officer using force on juvenile

WATERLOO — The Waterloo Police Department has destroyed surveillance video of a 2010 incident in which an officer used “unnecessary force” against a juvenile in a department holding cell.

Police Chief Daniel Trelka said Thursday the video involving officer Corbin Payne was likely destroyed in April 2016, six years after Payne was suspended without pay over the incident. He says department policy requires such records be kept for six years.
