Fullerton, CA — Manuel Ramos, 41, the former
Fullerton police officer who was ultimately acquitted after being tried
for the beating and killing of Kelly Thomas, has been arrested once
more—this time for domestic violence.
Thomas—an unarmed, mentally-ill homeless man—was
brutally beaten to death
by Ramos and two fellow officers in the summer of 2011. Two of the
officers—Ramos, as well as Jay Cicinelli—were tried and acquitted of the
murder. From the beginning, the case received nationwide coverage. A
slew of peaceful protests resulted from the several injustices that were
committed in this gut-wrenching case of excessive violence and
abuse of power.
Now, Ramos has been arrested again. As ABC7 news
reported,
“Police
respond[ed] to a report of a family disturbance [and] arrested Manuel
Ramos on July 16 after he allegedly assaulted a woman in the 3600 block
of W. Oak Avenue.” Ramos was then booked on the charge of
misdemeanor domestic violence, but soon after posted bail and was
released. According to the report, the case still remains under
investigation.
