ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. (KRQE) — The trial against a former APD officer accused of dragging a disabled man out of Target on Coors continued Thursday.
Kenneth Skeens is being accused of using excessive force against Matthew McManus while he was at the self checkout trying to buy a bike. The state is arguing Skeens pulled McManus out of that Target without lawful authority, and made false claims about the situation in his reports. The defense told the jury that the Target has had a history of bike thefts.
Employees who witnessed the event took the stand Tuesday afternoon and Wednesday morning.
