COUNTRY CLUB HILLS — One of two officers accused of assaulting a man last summer has been charged with misdemeanor assault.
A suppressed St. Louis County grand jury indictment was issued against Officer Idriese Tabarly, 30, of Jennings on Wednesday for fourth-degree assault. It was unsealed Monday.
The man, Mohammed Wishah, told the Post-Dispatch that he was at the Mally Supermarket, 7445 West Florissant Avenue, on July 25 to buy food for his family and had been chatting with the officers in the store when they suddenly ordered him to leave, forced him out the door and pushed him to the ground outside, injuring his back.
Wishah said he was not arrested and did nothing to provoke the officers.
