2nd police officer indicted in BLM flag vandalism case

FOREST GROVE, Ore. (AP) — A second Forest Grove police officer is facing a criminal charge in the case of an officer accused of vandalizing a home where a Black Lives Matter flag was displayed last fall. The Oregonian/OregonLive reports Officer Bradley Schuetz was indicted this week by a grand jury on first-degree official misconduct. Police say he was arrested, cited and released. Investigators say Schuetz picked up Officer Steven Teets from the crime scene after he is accused of hitting a Black Lives Matter flag and kicking and pounding on a family’s front door on Oct. 31. Beaverton police Sgt. Kevin MacDonald says in not arresting Teets, Schuetz “prevented the investigation from happening.”
