On December 3, 2022, Crawley arrested M.K. for DUI. At the department's booking room, Crawley and M.K. got into a heated conversation. Crawley tried to handcuff M.K., who passively resisted. Crawley put his arm around M.K.'s neck and took him to the ground, and later choked M.K. until his face turned red. Another officer told Crawley to stop.^[1]
