Caldwell is the same officer who was suspended in 2016 following a viral video of him pepper-spraying a handcuffed man at SXSW.
CEDAR PARK, Texas Warning: Some may find the following details disturbing.
An investigation into an officer with the Austin Police Department (APD) continues as court documents reveal what led up to his arrest.
APD Officer Cameron Caldwell turned himself into the Williamson County Jail following "an incident at his Cedar Park home," according to Cedar Park police.
Court documents obtained by KVUE reveal authorities were called out to Caldwell's home on Manada Trail on June 17 for reports of child abuse. The mother of Caldwell's two children told officers she had video of him abusing their children, including one video of "great concern."

He needs to be locked up before he murders one of his own children or his wife for turning over videos of him beating the 2 year old.
