WASHINGTON - Four District of Columbia
police officers have been indicted by a grand jury in connection with an
assault near a nightclub in downtown Washington.
The charges Wednesday stem from a fight
that broke out in the early morning hours of June 10, 2011 outside the Lotus
Louge. Investigators reviewing video of the incident later recognized that
several off-duty police officers were involved in the fight while working as
bouncers at the club.
Authorities say two of the officers,
Kenneth McRavin and Thaddeus Modlin, repeatedly kicked and beat a man outside
the club. Another officer, Keith Goins, is accused of not intervening. A fourth
officer, Yolanda Lampkin, is charged with lying to a grand jury investigating
the assault.
It was not immediately clear if the
four officers had attorneys.
