Officer William Cosby Jr Accused of Choking Man


MOUNT JULIET, Tenn.

The Tennessee Bureau of Investigation has arrested a Mount Juliet police officer who is accused of choking a man during a traffic stop.

In August, a Wilson County Grand Jury indicted 36-year-old William Cosby Jr. in connection to an incident during a traffic stop in April, according to a TBI news release.

Cosby was indicted on two counts of aggravated assault, one for bodily injury and one for fear of bodily injury, and one count of aggravated perjury.

He is accused of using a vascular restraint maneuver on James Lawrence Anders Jr., of Lebanon until Anders blacked out. The perjury charge stems from a report Cosby filled out accusing Anders of resisting arrest. Cosby was been booked into the Wilson County jail on a $5,000 bond.
