In Texas, State Trooper Brian Encinia has been indicted on perjury charges for lying about the traffic stop of Sandra Bland, the African-American woman who was found hanged in her jail cell three days after Encinia arrested her in July for allegedly failing to signal a lane change. Authorities say Bland committed suicide, a claim her family rejects. On Wednesday, a grand jury indicted Encinia, saying they didn’t believe his written statement that he had removed Bland from the vehicle in order to conduct a safer traffic investigation. Dash cam footage of the arrest shows Encinia dragging Sandra Bland out of her car and threatening to “light [her] up.” Sandra Bland can later be heard on video accusing the police officer of slamming her head into the ground. She said she had epilepsy, to which Trooper Encinia replies, “Good.” The perjury charge against Encinia is a Class A misdemeanor that carries a possible penalty of one year in jail and a $4,000 fine. Following the grand jury announcement, protesters condemned the grand jury for only indicting Encinia on perjury and not the more serious charges of assault.

Protester: “To give him a slap on the wrist and give him a perjury is not a surprise to us, but it is also a hurt and a slap in the face of Sandra Bland’s family.”

Last month, a grand jury declined to indict jailhouse officers in Bland’s death. Her family has filed a wrongful death suit.
