(b)The relative severity of the injuries inflicted on each person;
(c)The likelihood of future injury to each person; and
(d)Whether one of the persons acted with a justified use of force under sections 28-1406 to 28-1416 .
(2)In addition to any other report required, a peace officer who arrests two or more persons with respect to such a complaint shall submit a detailed, written report setting forth the grounds for arresting multiple parties.
