Ex-Arkansas Deputies Sentenced for Civil Rights Violations in 2022 Arrest

Two former deputies received prison sentences for using excessive force during the arrest of Randal Worcester, captured in a viral video.

Zackary King was sentenced to one year in prison after pleading guilty to violating civil rights by kicking a subdued suspect during an arrest.
Levi White received a 63-month sentence for punching the suspect and obstructing the investigation by deleting phone data.
The arrest, recorded by a bystander, showed the officers using excessive force on Randal Worcester, who was already subdued.
The incident occurred during an investigation into a threat made at a convenience store in Mulberry, Arkansas.
Worcester has filed a lawsuit against the officers and local authorities, which is on hold pending the outcome of related criminal cases.
