Euclid Mayor Kristen Gail announced the added suspension for patrol officer Michael Amiott on Friday. The Euclid police chief previously suspended Amiott for 15 days for the Aug. 12 encounter and added a number of conditions before Amiott would be allowed to return to patrol duties. It shows Amiott punching 25-year-old Richard Hubbard III more than a dozen times and hitting his head on pavement several times after stopping him for a suspected suspended license. A dash cam video released in a public records request shows Amiott almost immediately wrestling Hubbard to the ground after stepping out of the car. Hubbard pleaded not guilty to misdemeanour charges of resisting arrest and driving with a suspended license.
