President Donald Trump has pardoned two former Metropolitan Police Department officers convicted on charges related to the 2020 death of a man riding a moped in Washington, D.C. 

Lt. Andrew Zabavsky, 56, was convicted of conspiracy and obstruction of justice and sentenced in September, Fox News reports, and Terrence Sutton, Jr., 40, was also convicted and sentenced in relation to the same incident. 

On Oct. 23, 2020, Karon Hylton-Brown was riding a moped when Sutton attempted to pull him over. Hylton-Brown was struck by another vehicle during the chase that followed, and he sustained severe head trauma, dying two days later. 

Trump gave both former officers full and unconditional pardons. The D.C. Police Union argues that the men were wrongly convicted and maliciously prosecuted. Prosecutors accused the men of conspiring to hide what led to Hylton-Brown’s death.
