2 former Phoenix police officers arrested in violent traffic stop make 1st court appearance
Prosecutor Tom Van Dorn told a judge that the defendants used their authority as police officers to cause harm to the victims. A male driver and a female passenger told investigators they were beaten and tased by the officers during an Aug. 5 traffic stop near 19th Avenue and Broadway Road.
