Las Vegas police have released body camera footage after a former officer pleaded guilty to a misdemeanor in an excessive force case Thursday.

The profanity-laden video appears to show then-Metropolitan Police Department officer Richard Scavone, 50, assaulting a woman near Tropicana Avenue and Interstate 15 early morning Jan. 6, 2015. On Friday evening, Metro released the previously unseen footage of Scavone’s encounter with a woman he suspected was a prostitute because his criminal case had been closed.

Scavone, 50, faces up to a year behind bars and a $100,000 fine on one count of deprivation of rights under color of law in connection with the encounter.

The 3-minute, 23-second video begins with Scavone in his patrol car, getting out and calling to a woman. Within seconds of getting her attention, Scavone said, “I got the Taser out” and attempts to handcuff her.
