Conway, AR — Faulkner County Sheriff's deputy, Eugene Watlington, 43, went to trial last week for excessive force after stomping on the head of Harvey Martin. The entire assault was captured on video by Mayflower police officer Dalton Elliott.

The violent arrest happened during a botched police chase in 2015, during which Martin was working undercover for Conway police. When Faulkner County deputies attempted to pull over a Mustang carrying Martin and the man who he was supposed to be surveilling, Christopher Cummings, all hell broke loose.

As the chase began, Cummings held a gun to Martin's head and forced him to speed away from police, according to authorities. The chase only ended once the Mustang ran out of gas. When the chase ended, however, the violent excessive force began.

According to Elliot, he and two deputies had their guns drawn when they arrived at the site in Conway where the chase ended once the Mustang ran out of gas. Elliott said they told Martin to put his hands up, which he did. Elliott said Martin did not resist arrest.

When police moved in to make the arrest, Cummings ran, but Martin immediately complied.

Naturally, Watlington's fellow officers claimed that Martin was not cooperating and continued to "reach for his waistband." But, the video does not show this. Also, Martin would not have any reason to reach for his waistband as he was working for the police at the time.

During the trial, Elliot testified that he counted "nine to 10 times" that the 6-foot-1 Watlington, who weighed 310 pounds according to his arrest warrant, kicked Martin with his boot.
