Jurors
found an Owasso police officer not guilty of excessive force during an
arrest. Officer Mike Denton was found not guilty of assault and battery
with a deadly weapon and reckless conduct with a firearm. Dashcam video
from June 2015 shows Denton hitting a suspect of a high-speed chase with
a shotgun. The altercation came at the end of a chase that stretched
from Tulsa to Nowata and ended with the suspect's arrest. The video
shows Denton sticking the shotgun in and punching it on the suspect who
had just been Tased. Another officer appears to stop Denton, but when
the suspect - who had a knife - was pulled out, video shows Denton hit
him with the gun multiple times. Denton was also accused of using
excessive force in 2011 and fired from the Owass
