ATLANTA — A police officer in suburban Atlanta has been fired after an internal investigation found he used unnecessary force during the arrest of a former college football player, the police chief said Thursday.
Henry County police officer David Rose faced administrative charges of maltreatment or unnecessary force during the Dec. 2 arrest of Desmond Marrow and also faced conduct violations, Chief Mark Amerman said in an emailed statement. Amerman said he agreed with an internal investigation’s findings and fired Rose.
