NORFOLK –Norfolk Police Chief Michael Goldsmith said Friday that four Norfolk officers are no longer employed with the force and one has been suspended after an investigation into the attack of a Norfolk State University student by K9.
London Colvin, 21, a student and Army reservist, suffered gruesome injuries after an encounter with a Norfolk police dog. She was missing a chunk of her leg after the incident in January.
Police Chief Michael Goldsmith had said that the use of force against Colvin was “unreasonable.”
According to the Colvin’s cousin, Whitney Dunn, Colvin was attending an off-campus party at NSU when a large fight broke out that spread into the street. Dunn says Colvin and her friends walked away from the incident. Police responded to reports of a fight.
“She wasn’t involved so she didn’t feel the need to answer questions. She didn’t want to,” said Dunn.
Police took Colvin to the hospital for treatment and charged her with disorderly conduct and resisting arrest after she was released.
