SCHENECTADY — The city is keeping under wraps the release of body-worn camera footage of an arrest that resulted in a $225,000 payout to a criminal suspect after being attacked by a police K-9.
The city formally denied The Daily Gazette’s request under the Freedom of Information Law on Monday for footage showing a police canine biting and severely injuring Ramel Gentry, who was bitten during a drug arrest in May 2019.
The records are sealed under a court order requested by the county District Attorney’s Office.
