MEMPHIS, Tenn. -- A former Memphis Police officer is set to be back in court to see if his case will be dismissed and expunged from his record. Former officer William Skelton pleaded guilty to reckless endangerment with a deadly weapon and was sentenced to one year of diversion. This all goes back to a case in 2019 when body camera footage captured police arresting Drew Thomas for allegedly vandalizing a store on Airways Boulevard. Thomas was said to have been banned from the store. Family members of Thomas told WREG investigators that he had mental health issues with dozens of arrests and emergency commitments. That night, MPD sent officer Skelton to the scene because he was trained to handle people with mental health issues. He had also dealt with Thomas earlier. Skelton put Thomas into handcuffs and into the squad car. Skelton told internal affairs he sprayed pepper foam four times, restrained Thomas' legs and shut the door. He also refused to crack a window for five minutes and 55 seconds, despite that being against the department's policy. Video of police using pepper foam on a man leads to conversation about mental health calls Skelton resigned before the administrative hearing and MPD never referred the case to the District Attorney's office. When the incident made headlines, the former DA Amy Weirich had a special team look at the case. In November 2020, a grand jury indicted Skelton on an official oppression charge.
