The Blaine County District Attorney's Office has declined to file criminal charges against a Watonga police officer investigated for his use of force on a man walking with his son in July.| MORE | OSBI turns Watonga use of force case over to DA's officeAt around 6 a.m. on July 4, John Sexton was walking with his 6-year-old son, who has autism. He was stopped by two officers for suspicious activity before being thrown to the ground and briefly detained."Shut up and listen just a minute. We had small enough suspicion to identify you," the officer could be heard saying in body camera video."What was I being detained for?" Sexton asked."We don't know what you were doing! We can call it criminal activity," the officer said.Sexton claimed the incident violated his rights and traumatized his son. The Oklahoma State Bureau of Investigation took over the case, looking into whether the use of force was justified. The agency didn't reveal what the investigation found, but a spokesperson for OSBI confirmed that the case was turned over to the Blaine County District Attorney's Office. On Monday, the Blaine County District Attorney's Office told KOCO 5 that criminal charges would not be filed against the officer. In a statement, the DA's office said it was "solely tasked" with determining whether the officer's conduct was criminal in nature."Our declination of charges speaks only to our assessment of potential criminal liability under Oklahoma law," the DA's office said in the statement. "The question of whether any disciplinary or civil action should be taken is not for the consideration of our office." Now, the city has its own investigation to do. "The personnel review is ongoing, and Officer Goodwin is currently on paid administrative leave," the city said in a statement. Sexton said he isn't done fighting for his rights yet either. He has retained a lawyer and said he plans to continue seeking justice. "Even if the DA don't want to press charges, I mean, they're still my rights that were violated," Sexton said. Blaine County Sheriff Travis Daugherty told KOCO 5 that the officer involved in the incident has a history of complaints, including from his former colleagues."The deputies that were underneath him, they had lost faith in him as their leader. Yeah, and so I demoted him back later," Daugherty said.The officer ended up moving to a position that wasn't with the public before leaving the sheriff's office and eventually joining the Watonga Police Department. Community members organized a town hall meeting for 6 p.m. Monday at the Legion Hall to discuss their concerns, but that was canceled at the last minute.
