We are sharing body camera footage in the video below to provide additional context to a traffic stop that occurred on January 16, 2026. This is an effort to clear up misconceptions and be fully transparent with our community members.
On January 16, 2026, Hurst officers conducted a traffic stop that resulted in an arrest. A formal complaint was filed on January 20, 2026, claiming excessive use of force and an Internal Affairs Investigation was opened. A thorough investigation was conducted, the claims submitted were determined to be unfounded, and the Internal Affairs Investigation was closed.
We are aware of the community concern about this situation, and we are committed to remaining transparent. The Tarrant County District Attorney’s Office is continuing to investigate the charges stemming from the original traffic stop. Because of this, we are unable to release additional information at this time.
The Hurst Police Department is dedicated to protecting our community and enforcing local, state, and federal laws. Public support and well-established lines of communication are of utmost importance to our Department.
