DALLAS — Two Dallas police officers and one Garland police officer accused of assaulting demonstrators during 2020 protests downtown were indicted Friday on multiple felony charges.
Dallas police Senior Cpl. Ryan Mabry, former Dallas police Senior Cpl. Melvin Williams and Garland police Officer Joe Privitt were indicted for their involvement in the demonstrations, which were spurred by the murder of George Floyd by a Minneapolis police officer.
Mabry, 36, was indicted on 11 charges — six counts of aggravated assault by a public servant, two counts of deadly conduct and three counts of official oppression. Williams, 41, was indicted on nine charges — four counts of aggravated assault by a public servant, two counts of deadly conduct and three counts of official oppression. Privitt, 57, was indicted on one count of aggravated assault by a public servant.
