2 North Chicago Police Officers Disciplined In Man's Beating Death

Friday, April 27, 2012
Two of seven North Chicago police officers suspected to have been involved in the beating death of Darrin Hanna faced disciplinary action Friday, while their other colleagues returned to their previous posts.

Officer Brandon Yost, a six-year veteran of the force was to be discharged immediately from his position, while Arthur Strong, a seven-year veteran, will be suspended for 30 days without pay, North Chicago Police Chief James Jackson announced Friday, NBC Chicago reports.

As Jackson announced his decision, a crowd of onlookers yelled "cover up" and "liar," NBC reports.

According to ABC Chicago, Yost had admitted to hitting Hanna, while Strong falsified police reports on the incident. The other four officers and one supervisor involved in Hanna's November 2011 arrest had been put on temporary paid leave but, as of Friday, were given the go-ahead to get back to work.
