The Austin Police Department continues to investigate the critical incident that occurred on February 10, 2021, at 2907 Rogge Lane. Although the production process is currently underway, due to recent City of Austin weather-related closures, APD will not be releasing the video during the initial 60-day timeframe. At this time, APD is planning to release this critical incident briefing video no later than May 1, 2021.
The officers involved in this critical incident have been identified as:
• Officer Jeffrey Hutchison - 8 years of service with APD
• Officer Ryan Nichols - 13 years of service with APD
These officers, who were initially placed on paid administrative leave in line with APD policy, have since been returned to full duty.
