Three law enforcement officers in Arkansas have been suspended and are at the center of an investigation following accusations they severely beat a suspect outside a Crawford County eatery, an incident recorded by a witness that has since gone viral. CNN reports that an arrest took place Sunday morning outside of the Kountry Xpress in Mulberry, where Crawford County Sheriff Jimmy Damante says the suspect, identified by the Arkansas State Police as 27-year-old Randall Worcester, was spotted by a deputy after allegedly threatening a clerk at a nearby gas station. Damante tells KHBS that at first Worcester was cooperative when approached by two Crawford County deputies and an officer from the Mulberry Police Department, but that his cooperation soon changed to resistance.
