A Texas state trooper who arrested Sandra Bland
after a contentious traffic stop last summer was fired Wednesday after
being charged with perjury for allegedly lying about his confrontation
with the black woman who died three days later in jail.

in charging Encinia with perjury, special prosecutor Shawn McDonald
said Wednesday night.
