She has continued that hearing until 1:30 p.m. June 22.
The incident on Sep. 4, 2021 led to Mackin being placed on administrative leave and a Review Board being set to determine if the officer used excessive force.
The Review Board determined the officer did not use excessive force as he was attempting to take Green into custody during an incident on that Saturday night of Labor Day weekend.
Meeker Police Chief Trent Norton said this week that former District Attorney Allan Grubb had said he did not plan to file charges against Green.
