A former Frederick Police Department officer was sentenced to a year of probation after pleading guilty to assault for hitting a man on the head while arresting him, according to court records.
Trevor James McCourt, 34, was arrested on suspicion of second-degree assault, official misconduct and reckless endangerment in June 2024 after his department fired him for using his service gun to hit a suspect on the head while he was arresting him.
The assault charge was a felony and the other charges were misdemeanors.
McCourt pleaded guilty to third-degree assault, a misdemeanor, in June as part of a plea agreement and was sentenced to probation, court records show. Prosecutors dismissed the other charges as part of the plea deal.
McCourt voluntarily gave up his state police certification in July, according to the Colorado Peace Officer Standards and Training database.
