A Delaware State Trooper is facing charges that allege he turned of his body worn camera before he assaulted a teen and broke the boy's eye socket.
A Delaware State Trooper has been charged with multiple felonies following allegations that he -- as detailed by the Delaware State Attorney General's office -- brutally assaulted a 15-year-old victim and fracturing his orbital socket in response to an apparent prank.
As detailed in documents provided by the attorney general's office, while off-duty, Walters is alleged to have engaged in a verbal altercation at his home with a 17-year-old boy on Aug. 17. During that altercation, Walters contacted the Elsmere Police Department and responding officers transported the boy to his home and he was not arrested.Sign up for NBC Philadelphia newsletters.
Following that incident, officials claim Walters used police equipment to look up the teen on a law enforcement database. Four days later, on Aug. 21, while on-duty, the district attorney's office claims a 15-year-old boy covered his face, and in an attempt to play a prank, kicked the front door of Walters' home. The district attorney's office said that Walters' girlfriend, who was home, called him after she heard the noise at the door and gave him a description of the person who she saw at the door.
"Walters drove to his neighborhood and, en route, called [other Delaware State] troopers and other police departments for assistance," the district attorney said, in a statement.
