The indictment includes what appears to be text messages among three officers before the protests in which they talk about their plans to beat protesters.
The fourth officer, Bailey Colleta, is accused of aiding in a cover-up by lying to the grand jury investigating the incident. Colleta and Hays were romantically involved at the time of the protests and during the federal investigation, according to the indictment.
