New Mexico State Police say their investigation has concluded that an Albuquerque police officer used excessive force during a call for service last month.
They say 24-year-old Officer Cedric Greer punched the individual in the head several times and struck the individual's chest enough to cause bruising on March 20.
Witnesses say the individual was cooperative before and after the battery.
The name and age of the person isn't immediately available.
Greer turned himself into State Police on Friday night.
Authorities say he's been booked into the Metropolitan Detention Center on suspicion of misdemeanor aggravated battery.
It's unclear if Greer has an attorney yet.
