Officer Thell Riddle was seen in the middle of two deputies, kneeling on Randal Worcester, 27, according to Charlie Robbins with the U.S. Attorney's Office for the Western District of Arkansas.

The former deputies were arrested on Jan. 24 by FBI and U.S. Marshal agents and charged with federal civil rights offenses and excessive force.
A trial date has been set for April 3. Both men pleaded not guilty and will remain on probation until trial. They were released after posting a $5,000 unsecured bond.
