Fourth officer sentenced in attack on undercover colleague
ST. LOUIS (AP) — A former St. Louis police officer has been sentenced to one year of probation for his role in an attack by officers on a Black, colleague during a 2017 protest. A federal judge on Tuesday sentenced 30-year-old Christopher Myers after he pleaded guilty to deprivation of rights, admitting he damaged the cell phone of former undercover officer Luther Hall. Protesters took to the streets in September 2017 after the acquittal of Jason Stockley, a white former officer who had been accused of killing a Black suspect. Prosecutors said the four officers mistakenly believed that Hall was participating in the protest.
