Attorney calls for firing of Auburn Police officer

On Tuesday, Auburn Police Officer Andrew Bryant remained on administrative leave as attorney Evan Oshan demanded his firing, describing the incident involving Felix Valles as "horrific and inhumane" in a November 10 email.
Viral video footage released by the Auburn Police Department shows Bryant striking Valles approximately 25 times in the head area during an October 28 arrest after a "physical altercation" ensued.
The Auburn Prosecutor's Office dismissed all pending charges against Valles on November 5 without prejudice, allowing potential refiling as investigations proceed into the incident.
Separate investigations into the incident are underway: the Renton Police Department examines potential criminal violations while the City of Auburn conducts an internal policy review.
Auburn city spokesperson Jonathan Glover stated on Tuesday the City will not comment until the internal investigation concludes, as the case remains under active criminal review by the Renton Police Department.
