MIAMI GARDENS, FLA. (WSVN) - A Miami-Dade Police officer was cleared for hitting a University of Miami football fan while trying to remove her from the premises, earlier this month.
Miami-Dade Police Officer Douglas Ross has been cleared of any wrongdoing after he was caught on camera striking a fan law enforcers described as drunk and unruly, Nov. 4.
At the time, he and other officers were removing her from a Hurricanes football game at Hard Rock Stadium. Officials determined Ross used appropriate force because the 30-year-old woman hit him in the face first.
The woman was arrested and charged with battery on a law enforcement officer and disturbing the peace.
The police department never opened an internal affairs investigation because the woman never filed a complaint.
