A YouTube video of an arrest in Clearfield over the summer is going viral, with some people accusing the officer of misconduct.
The video was posted Sunday by “The Civil Rights Lawyer” and already has 294,000 views.
The video includes the officer’s bodycam footage from July 25. The officer saw a man walking in a “non-lit closed business area” and asked him to stop, according to a press release responding to the video.
The department said the officer asked the man to stop multiple times, but did not. He also allegedly refused to provide identification “as required under Utah Code Annotated 77-7-15,” according to officials.
Police said the man resisted arrest after refusing to show his ID.
