HUNTSVILLE, Ala. (AP) — A northeastern Alabama police chief has been found guilty on charges of using excessive force and assaulting a man who was being arrested.

Local news media report that 56-year-old Stevenson Police Chief Daniel Gordon Winters was convicted Thursday. Winters was indicted in January on two counts of deprivation of civil rights under color of law.

Winters' sentencing is scheduled for Oct. 27.

Winters was found guilty of physically assaulting David Fulmer in March 2015 and failing to stop another officer from using unreasonable force. The indictment says the victim suffered bodily injuries while being arrested.

every week, you go in the box. If you drop trash on the floor of the bunkroom, you go in the box. Yer sheets get rotated every Saturday. Top to the bottom, bottom in the laundry. Mix 'em up and you go in the box.
