The U.S. Attorney General's Office and the Justice Dept.'s Civil Rights Division will conduct an investigation into a viral video that shows a man being held down and beaten by law enforcement officers in Mulberry, Arkansas.
Arkansas Gov. Asa Hutchinson said Monday that the U.S. Attorney General's Office and the Justice Department's Civil Rights Division will conduct an investigation into a viral video that shows a man being held down and beaten by law enforcement officers Sunday morning outside a convenience store in Mulberry, Arkansas.
He added:"I understand that the U.S. attorney and the Civil Rights Division of the Department of Justice will be conducting a separate investigation." The three officers were identified Monday by their bosses as Crawford County Sheriff's deputies Zack King and Levi White, and Thell Riddle from the Mulberry Police Department, where he has worked since March of 2017. The Mulberry Police Department said its officer was on administrative leave pending the outcome of the investigation, and the Crawford County Sheriff's Office said its deputies had been suspended with pay.
He said the incident was being investigated as"a criminal act" by the Arkansas State Police and that it was also being looked into by the sheriff's department to determine whether the officers' violated any policies. He declined to give an opinion of the officers' actions, and pledged to hold them accountable once the investigation is complete.
Worcester was charged with second-degree battery, resisting arrest, terroristic threatening, second-degree assault, criminal mischief, possessing an instrument of crime, refusal to submit and criminal trespass. "It's not to hide anything. I'm not trying to hide anything," Damante said."We will not hide anything. We'll be very transparent with everything."Hutchinson condemned the officers' actions at his news conference Monday.
