D.C. sergeant says he gave missing protester evidence to supervisors

A former D.C. police sergeant testified Tuesday that he handed his bosses documents describing the police response during the 2002 mass arrests of protesters at Pershing Park, evidence that later disappeared under questioning.

Retired Sgt. Douglas Jones was the first of 14 witnesses to be called before U.S. Magistrate Judge John Facciola to investigate whether D.C. officials altered or covered evidence to cover up their actions during the protest of the International Monetary Fund and the World Bank. Former D.C. Police Chief Charles Ramsey, who is now the head of the Philadelphia police, is scheduled to testify Thursday.
