A former Lonoke County sheriff’s deputy has been charged with manslaughter in the shooting death of a teenager during a traffic stop in June.
Family and friends of 17-year-old Hunter Brittain cheered during a press conference Friday when a special prosecutor announced an arrest warrant had been issued for former Sgt. Michael Davis. Davis was fired by the Lonoke County Sheriff's Office for failing to turn on his body camera until after the fatal shot was fired.
Special prosecutor Jeff Phillips said Davis “acted recklessly in his behavior when he discharged his firearm.” If convicted, Davis could face three-to-10 years in prison.
