Hello, people of Indianapolis! It's me again, Miranda Fraraccio, your host of the Indianapolis Daily. First, today's weather: An afternoon thunderstorm. High: 74 Low: 69. Here are the top stories today in Indianapolis: The Marion County Prosecutor's Office has charged Sgt. Eric Huxley of the Indianapolis Metropolitan Police Department with one felony count of official misconduct and one count of battery resulting in moderate injury, after he used excessive force against a man during a Sept. arrest. Yesterday, IMPD Chief Randal Taylor announced he is recommending that Huxley, a 14-year veteran, be terminated for his actions. The officer has been placed on leave without pay while the incident continues to be under investigation, including the actions of the two other IMPD officers who were involved in the arrest of Jermaine Vaughn.
