TYBEE ISLAND, Ga – The GBI has completed its investigation into an incident involving an autistic teen who authorities say was shocked with a stun gun and thrown to the ground by officers.
Authorities say Cpl. Javier Valdes, who was involved in the May 21 incident, resigned his position with the department on June 17. Police have also dropped criminal charges against 18-year-old Clifford Grevemberg, who was charged with disorderly conduct after police said he was drunk and became agitated outside a bar.
The results of the inquiry by the Georgia Bureau of Investigation were released Thursday to the Chatham County District Attorney’s Office, but will not be made public until a decision is made to either file charges against the officers involved or close the case.
Grevemberg’s family has filed a civil lawsuit in Chatham County State Court against the island.
