Two former Phoenix police officers were fired and arrested on felony aggravated assault and kidnapping charges after allegedly detaining and beating a couple during a traffic stop that was never reported, FOX 10 reported Wednesday.

On a separate note with local dining significance, INDIBAR, the elevated Indian craft cocktail bar and restaurant at 6208 N. Scottsdale Rd. in Paradise Valley, earned a spot on the Michelin Recommended list, FOX 10 reported in the same segment. Eater Phoenix has described the venue as beginning to shift Scottsdale's South Asian fine-dining landscape, a part of town historically dominated by steakhouses and sushi. The restaurant is led by Chefs Nigel Lobo and Ajay Singh, according to the venue's Yelp profile.
Also in Wednesday's roundup: Mesa Gateway Airport was selected for the new Gateside TSA PreCheck program, and a search and rescue effort remained ongoing in the Grand Canyon.
The criminal cases against the two former Phoenix officers are proceeding through the courts; no trial date was reported.
