Bodycam Shows Las Vegas Officer Slamming Woman Onto Car Hood

Las Vegas police have released body camera footage after a former officer pleaded guilty to excessive force this week. Richard Scavone, 50, agreed to a plea deal Thursday admitting that he used excessive force. The body camera footage from the January 2015 incident shows Scavone touching the woman's neck. He asks "what do we have here" and tries to reach for her necklace or chest area. She turns away, and Scavone immediately slams her on the hood of his police vehicle. "Don't ever pull away from me!" Scavone says as the woman screams, "Get off of me!" Scavone takes what appear to be keys and a cellphone out of the woman's shirt, and when she pulls away, Scavone slams her on the hood a second time. The victim, Amanda Ortiz, was arrested after the incident.
