FORT WORTH
An officer has been pulled from patrol while police conduct an internal investigation into a video that shows him pepper-spraying passing motorcyclists on a highway.
Officer W. Figueroa, who has been on the Fort Worth force since 2009, was placed on administrative duties Monday afternoon.
The incident began Sunday afternoon when Figueroa pulled over a red pickup truck and issued citations for the driver having no license and for two passengers for standing in the bed of the truck.
As a caravan of motorcyclists began to pass, an officer emerges from the patrol car with what appears to be a canister of pepper spray in his right hand.
A video shot by one of the bikers with his GoPro camera shows the officer spraying at passing motorcyclists.
