Md. police officer found guilty after video shows him pointing gun at man’s head

WASHINGTON — A Prince George’s County police office was found guilty on assault and other charges Wednesday after a cellphone video captures him pointing a gun at a Bowie resident’s head more than a year ago.

Officer Jenchesky Santiago, a three-year veteran of the department, was been found guilty on charges of assault, the use of a firearm in a crime of violence and misconduct in office.

Santiago will be sentenced in January.

In May 2014, prosecutors say that while patrolling a Bowie neighborhood, Santiago approached a car which he claimed was illegally parked. William Cunningham testified on Tuesday that he and his cousin were sitting in a car parked on the street outside of Cunningham’s home.

One cop against two aggressive thugs who want to fight him. He was trained to do what was necessary to save his life.

If someone was videotaping then that means he had at least 3 thugs to worry about. Quit hating, he was doing his job.

Bull shart. Cop wasn't up against armed people. With his hand on his weapon ,be would draw quicker sure as shit. He could've waited in his car for back up. And stil kept tabs on them. The die or comply has to stop. People need to stand and fight.. Once a couple cops get hurt or killed for being tyrant coward thugs , a healthy relationship can form with the peolle.

I don't know why you simpletons keep repeating this false mantra, especially after this kop has been convicted. he has been proven to been in the wrong and you still try to justify his illegal actions.

just another dumb kid from the military funnelled straight into a police force who thought every word out of his mouth was a lawful command. and trying to show off for people in his car who were doing an illegal/unauthorised ride along.

but he will have a minimum of 5 years to think about it.

On the other hand, look at homey in his ridiculous bowtie. When was the last time or when will be the next time he was/will be dressed like that? In his casket after a drug or gang related shooting.

Wait, I don't have anything intelligent to say so I will make fun of the way a person is dressed because I wear overalls to work.
