Victoria police officer fired for tasing driver

[TexasTowelie]

A Victoria police officer whose use of force against a 76-year-old man gained national attention was fired Monday.

Nathanial Robinson was investigated after dash-camera video footage showed the 23-year-old officer knock Pete Vasquez to the ground and tase him twice after pulling him over Dec. 11.

After almost a month-long internal investigation by the Victoria Police Department, Chief J.J. Craig announced in a news release that Robinson violated three department policies: conduct and performance, use of force and arrest without a warrant.

The police department's policies weren't available following the announcement nor was the chief to further elaborate on those violations.
