Weeks after a North Carolina police officer was charged with sexually assaulting women during traffic stops, a police official said a background check should have shown some red flags. Marcus Jackson is being held in jail on a $423,000 bond for allegedly sexually assaulting up to five women while on duty.
A criminal background check did not reveal a 2005 restraining order filed by a girlfriend who said Jackson hit her. A criminal background check did not reveal the restraining order, which was filed in civil court. The deputy chief of the Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police Department said he thought the criminal background check would have revealed the civil restraining order.
