Jackson County prosecutors are investigating whether Kansas City police committed a crime by writing false information in a report last year after an officer threw a Black man to the ground, injuring him.
Mike Mansur, a spokesman for the Jackson County Prosecutor’s Office, said Monday the investigation of any false information in the police report is part of an overall review of the incident.
The statement by the prosecutor’s office comes as the injured man, Mack Nelson, 45, has entered into a $500,000 agreement to settle a civil lawsuit he filed against the Kansas City Police Department.
