FORT WORTH -- An officer has been pulled from patrol while police conduct an internal investigation into a video that shows him pepper-spraying passing motorcyclists on a highway.
W. Figueroa, an officer with Fort Worth since 2009, was placed on administrative duties Monday afternoon.

As a caravan of motorcyclists began to pass, an officer emerges from the patrol car with what appears to be a canister of pepper spray in his right hand.
