The Washington County Grand Jury has returned an indictment charging now-former Johnson City officer Connor Cooper with two counts of Official Misconduct and one count of Tampering with Governmental Records.
TBI agents learned that in April 2024, after being involved in a vehicle pursuit and working as an officer, 27-year-old Conner Cooper intentionally disabled his police cruiser’s in-car video system and his body-worn camera, and instructed a trainee riding with him to turn off his body-worn camera in an effort to unlawfully tamper with, destroy, conceal, or limit the availability of the video footage.
On Friday (7/11/2025), Cooper turned himself in and was booked into the Washington County Jail on a $3,000 bond.
