Aug. 22 Three Arkansas law enforcement officers have been relieved of their duties and are under investigation after they were captured in video by a bystander beating a suspect they were seemingly attempting to restrain.
Video of the Sunday incident was widely circulated online, showing two police officers repeatedly punch and knee the downed suspect in the head and back while a third appeared to be holding him down in a parking lot.
The officers have so far only been identified as two Crawford County sheriff’s deputies and a police officer with the Mulberry Police Department.
Their agencies separately announced the suspension of their officers later Sunday.
Mulberry Police Department said its officer has been placed on administrative leave while the Crawford County Sheriff’s Office said its involved officers have been suspended.
