HOUSTON — Police officer Jairus Warren resigned this week after he was caught on camera beating a man senseless with a baton at a Houston METRO station. <br /> <br />The footage — released to the media by Houston Metro Police — shows Darrell Giles sitting on a bench when Warren and his colleague, identified as officer D. Reynoso, approach. <br /> <br />They reportedly asked Giles to leave earlier, but authorities described him as being “combative” and “not co-operative.” <br /> <br />The three speak for a bit, then things turn violent after Warren seemingly kicks Giles’ foot, prompting him to stand up. Warren then pulls out a baton and furiously whacks at Giles for around 10 seconds. <br /> <br />Reynoso holds him back, but for some reason, Warren elects to pull Giles’ pants down and seemingly spanks his ass with the baton. <br /> <br />Local news channel KTRK-TV Houston reports that Giles was hit at least 15 times. <br /> <br />They reportedly arrested Giles with criminal trespassing and resisting arrest, charges that were later dropped. <br /> <br />Warren resigned this week following an internal investigation, but Reynoso was allowed to return to service, following a suspension. <br /> <br />The case was passed onto the Houston District Attorney’s Office, but it’s unclear if Warren will face charges.
