An angry police officer in Iowa repeatedly yanked on the dreadlocks of a handcuffed Suspect who was arrested after a dangerous high-speed chase. Waterloo Officer Adam Wittmayer, who also hit 24-year-old Montavis Keller twice on the back of the head, was disciplined for his actions after the April 19 incident. "I don't condone Officer Wittmayer's conduct whatsoever," Waterloo Police Chief Daniel Trelka said. Keller's lawyer Tom Frerichs forwarded the video to the FBI this week and asked for an inquiry. The FBI is aware of the video and is mulling whether to open a case. "I can't think of any other job in which an employee is allowed to repeatedly hit another person, pull out some of their hair and still keep their job," Frerichs said.
