UPDATE: Date set in trial of Dover PD officer accused of assault

A trial date has been set for the Dover Police officer indicted on assault charges.

Corporal Thomas Webster IV will appear in Kent County Superior Court on November 30th.

Last month, Corporal Webster was arrested over the alleged assault of Lateef Dickerson in 2013. This after being indicted Webster for second-degree assault by a grand jury.A previous grand jury declined to indict him in March of 2014 and the U.S. Attorney’s Office found no violation of Dickerson’s civil rights. But Attorney General Matt Denn, who took office in January, ordered that the case be presented to a second grand jury.

Earlier this month, The ACLU filed court papers seeking records and explanations of communications between city officials and Denn’s office since January 1st.

Dover Police have placed Webster on leave without pay pending the outcome of this criminal case. He was released from jail after posting $5,000 bond.
