FORT SMITH, Ark. (KNWA/KFTA) — KNWA/FOX24 has obtained body camera footage from the Fort Smith Police Department's investigation into hazing, harassment and dangerous behavior among night shift officers.
The Fort Smith Police Department is requesting the decertification of several of the former officers involved. Danny Nacalaban, Johnne Le, Michael D'Agostino, Seth Dominic and Rodrigo Roque were fired in January after an internal investigation uncovered misconduct and potentially criminal acts.
The investigation found that these officers:
Pointed loaded guns at fellow officers
Misused Tasers to intimidate other officers
Took part in hazing, including name-calling
Threatened to withhold backup in dangerous situations if others didn't go along with their behavior
Former Siloam Springs police officer has law enforcement certification revoked
A sixth officer, Dalton Tucker, who was also fired in January, appealed his termination, but the Fort Smith Civil Service Commission upheld the decision in February. However, the commission recommended he not be decertified.
