PHOENIX -- A Phoenix police officer has been placed on administrative leave pending a use of force investigation.
Police officials say the department has initiated both a criminal and internal investigation of Officer Patrick Larrison's actions.
They say the use of force incident occurred Jan. 25, but wasn't brought to the department's attention until late Tuesday night.
Police say a video shows a Phoenix police officer pushing a juvenile girl forcefully to the ground. They say the girl was walking away from an altercation with one of her parents in the parking lot of Ombudsman Charter School
