A man and a woman have come forward to allege that one of the Arkansas law enforcement officers seen in a viral video repeatedly punching a man's head and smashing it into the pavement during an arrest violently assaulted them during separate arrests.
Worcester, 27, of Goose Creek, South Carolina, was charged with second-degree battery, resisting arrest, terroristic threatening, second-degree assault, criminal mischief, possessing an instrument of crime, refusal to submit and criminal trespass. He was released on bond Monday.
Wallace said his encounter with White last month looked like Worcester's. He said the officer who beat him was"without a doubt" White. Wallace's attorney, Carrie Jernigan, said White was responding to a domestic disturbance call. "I had a bunch of abrasions on my elbows, my knees. My legs were bruised," Wallace said at Tuesday's news conference, where he was joined by his attorneys."I have a big bruise on my right arm. I just now got healed up from it all. My head was split open."
Russell Wood, an attorney for the two Crawford County sheriff's deputies, declined to comment on their allegations, referring NBC News instead to his law firm'sA statement posted on the page Tuesday says:"It has come to my attention that there was some sort of a TikTok press conference or something today about this Crawford County matter. It never fails that high profile matters bring out all sorts of people and their attorneys.
