A Sarasota, Florida, cop seen on a video tossing peanuts at a handcuffed homeless man has resigned, officials said Tuesday.
Officer Andrew Halpin, a nine-year veteran of the Sarasota Police Department, was under investigation after the surveillance video taken at the Sarasota County Jail on July 18 was made public last week.
Police Chief Bernadette DiPino said in a statement that Halpin's actions in the video were "unacceptable" — but he made the choice to resign before providing an explanation to internal affairs.
