State police and federal officers released investigations into using force against a man by Arkansas law enforcement officials that was captured on viral video, officers said on Monday.
The video was recorded on Sunday outside a convenience store in Mulberry as three officers from the Crawford County Sheriff’s Department and one from the Mulberry Police Department arrested a man on allegations of trespassing, and different crimes, Arkansas State Police stated in a statement.
The suspect, who was identified as Randal Worcester, who is 27years old of Goose Creek, South Carolina, was hospitalized with unspecified injuries before he was jailed, said the national police.
The deputies and the officer involved have been identified as Crawford County Sheriff’s Deputies Zack King and Levi White and Mulberry Police Officer Thell Riddle, the sheriff’s office found out on Monday.
On Monday, Arkansas Gov. Asa Hutchinson stated the officers’ conduct was “reprehensible” during the news conference.
