An internal investigation into four Dallas police officers who laughed at a disabled veteran has resumed after it was temporarily placed on hold, according to a police spokesperson.
The internal affairs investigation was put on hold for an unspecified period of time because an employee was on family medical leave, according to a memorandum made public during Tuesday night's Community Police Oversight meeting.
DPD communications director Kristin Lowman could not confirm how long the investigation was on hold, "as it involves a personnel matter."
The investigation was announced in August following a Community Police Oversight Board meeting that showed body camera footage of four officers laughing about Dynell Lane, a disabled veteran, who urinated himself after being denied bathroom access at Serious Pizza in Dallas.
An initial investigation cleared two off-duty officers and two others who were on duty, but the incident came under review again after the board's Aug. 8 meeting.
