The Texas trooper who arrested a black woman later found hanged to death in jail was warned about his “unprofessional conduct” in 2014, according to documents obtained by the Associated Press.
The traffic stop escalated into a verbal altercation when Encinia asked Bland to put out a cigarette and she refused. Bland was arrested and charged with assaulting an officer.
The Associated Press said it had obtained Encinia’s personnel file through a public records request.
In an evaluation of his work in September and October 2014, a supervisor noted Encinia had received “written counseling for unprofessional conduct … for an incident occurring while at a school in Austin,” the AP said, adding that the document provided no additional information.
