Police Officer Fired for Arresting 10-Year-Old for Public Urination

A police officer in Senatobia, Mississippi, who participated in the arrest and detention of a 10-year-old child for urinating in a parking lot is no longer employed, according to the city's police chief. The chief did not specify whether the officer was fired or quit, but stated that other officers involved in the incident would face disciplinary action. The child's mother reported that her son urinated behind her vehicle while she was visiting a lawyer's office, and the officers subsequently took him to the police station without handcuffing or charging him. The officers violated their training on how to handle children, and the incident is being investigated.
