Star arrest: 'reasonable force used'

|May 16, 2025

-
The actor, who plays Eugene in the Netflix series, said he was sprayed with an incapacitating liquid, thrown to the ground and kicked by officers when he was arrested in west London last year.
The Independent Office for Police Conduct (IOPC) said an investigation found “no indication that any officers acted in a manner that would justify the bringing of disciplinary proceedings or had committed a criminal offence”.
The watchdog also did not uphold a complaint by Richards that he was treated in a discriminatory manner because he was black.
