A clerk magistrate ruled on Friday that a former Lynn police officer will face criminal charges next month for allegedly assaulting a Black man in custody last June.
Matthew Coppinger, 35, is accused of assaulting Victor White, who was arrested on his front stoop last June after officers were called for a noise complaint and found him and two friends hanging out.
The assistant clerk magistrate, Paul Burns, reviewed 90 seconds of silent video footage from a police holding cell that Coppinger and White were in, ruling that Coppinger will be tried on assault and battery charges. The video showed Coppinger and another officer standing over White, who is sitting on a bench in the holding cell. Suddenly, both are on the floor, and Coppinger is seen repeatedly striking White.
