An Adams County jury convicted Dat Truong on a misdemeanor charge Friday.
ADAMS COUNTY, Colo. — A Denver Police officer was found guilty on Friday of hitting a handcuffed juvenile during an arrest in November 2023.
Court documents show that an Adams County jury convicted Dat Truong, 33, on Friday of misdemeanor harassment. Truong was accused of hitting the juvenile when they were already in custody on Nov. 3, 2023, near the intersection of Interstate 225 and Colfax Avenue.
Truong is scheduled for sentencing on Dec. 16.
Denver Police said Truong joined the department in 2014 and was most recently assigned as an officer within the Special Operations Division at the time of the incident.
Truong was placed in a nonpatrol assignment on Nov. 6, 2023 when the investigation began, and an administrative review will take place now that the criminal case is resolved, according to police.
