Baltimore officer charged with assaulting restrained inmate

BALTIMORE (AP) — A Baltimore police officer is facing criminal charges stemming from 2014 when he was accused of choking a restrained inmate, according to a department spokesman.

Officer Konstantinos Passamichalis, 50, has been charged with second-degree assault and misconduct in office.

The incident occurred Sept. 19, 2014, when Passamichalis took a fugitive, who had been caught by the Warrant Apprehension Task Force, into custody and placed him in plastic restraints, according to police spokesman T.J. Smith. Passamichalis then is accused of grabbing the prisoner, who was not attempting to flee, by the neck and assaulting him.

Zero sympathy for Mr Passamichalis. I wouldn't be surprised if it turned out he had a history to that sort of behavior.

Sometimes we all feel the urge to choke the living crap out of someone. Most of us resist the urge and don't get charged with a crime.
