Former Rock Hill officer focuses on unity after acquitted on charges for controversial arrest

ROCK HILL, S.C. — After a controversial arrest divided an entire community, a former Rock Hill police officer said he wants to focus on bridging that divide.

“I do believe our community has been divided tremendously and with my voice, I really want to bring us together,” Jonathan Moreno said.

Moreno was acquitted on charges of assault and battery last week, stemming from a controversial arrest in 2021.
