9NEWS: Jefferson County prosecutors dropped an obstruction charge against a man accused of being involved in a bar fight last December – a move that came amid concerns raised by the arresting officer’s body camera footage, 9NEWS Investigates has learned.

It’s the second time the same Edgewater Police officer’s body camera footage has hampered prosecutors. In the other case, footage showed the officer berating and threatening to shoot a suspect – and holding a gun to the back of the man’s head.

Prosecutors agreed to a plea deal in that case.

“Pre-body camera footage, it was kind of assumed that the police officers were telling the truth and were giving an accurate recitation of what happened,” said Eric Faddis, a former prosecutor who is a criminal defense and civil lawyer. “That’s no longer the assumption.”
