An Arizona police officer has resigned nearly two months after online video surfaced showing him punching a woman in the face during an eviction proceeding, People confirms.
Officials tell People that Officer John Bonar’s resignation on Tuesday comes after an independent investigation of the Nov. 16 incident.
The results of that investigation — a copy of which was obtained by People — allegedly prompted department administrators in Flagstaff to recommend termination for Bonar, who was suspended from the job soon after his confrontation with Marissa Morris.
In the video, first posted to Facebook, the 30-year-old Flagstaff woman seems to resist Bonar’s...

If Benjamin Taylor had made one album and it was 2008's The Legend Of Kung Folk, he would have fulfilled his creative contract with the music gods. The project featured unusually good songwriting and performances, but then, one would expect no less from the son of James Taylor and Carly Simon.
