Earlier today, the Jonesboro Police Department Administration was informed of a complaint about an incident involving a JPD officer that occurred the previous evening. The serious nature of the complaint necessitated prompt action. Following an internal review of the incident, it was determined that the officer involved, Joseph Harris, should be terminated effective immediately.
We are working through this as quickly as possible, and in the interest of transparency, we are releasing the video that resulted from this action. The video has been posted to our Jonesboro Police Department YouTube page.
