The FBI on Tuesday arrested two ex-Crawford County, Arkansas, sheriff’s on charges of using excessive force during an arrest last August of a 27-year-old man at a gas station.
Levi White and Zackary King face federal civil rights offenses for using excessive force during the arrest of the man on Aug. 21 at a gas station in Mulberry, Arkansas. The arrest was captured on video that went viral.
Specifically, White and King are accused of striking the man multiple times while he was lying on the ground. He suffered “bodily injuries.”
The two men entered a not guilty plea during their initial appearance in federal court before they were released. Trial is set for April 3.
The FBI Little Rock Field Office investigated the case.
