Red Bank Police Officer Mark Kaylor could face criminal charges for his role in the violent arrest of a man on April 13, 2014, District Attorney Neal Pinkston said Friday.

The case will go before the grand jury next week, Pinkston said.

Pinkston decided to take the case to the grand jury after reviewing the Tennessee Bureau of Investigation’s months-long report into the officer’s actions during and after the arrest.

TBI started to investigate Kaylor in September — at Pinkston’s request — after 24-year-old Candido Medina-Resendiz accused Kaylor of using excessive force during an arrest.
