Dallas, Texas
A former state trooper was found guilty Friday of using excessive force during an October 2009 traffic stop on the Dallas North Tollway.
Arturo Perez, 43, was convicted of misdemeanor assault in connection with the traffic stop, which was recorded on dash-camera video. The drunken-driving suspect, Megan Fox, had hit a wall near Lemmon Avenue. She was not charged with any crimes.
Prosecutors with the Dallas County district attorney's public integrity unit said Perez committed a crime when he threw Fox face-first into a concrete highway divider, leaving her with a deep gash in her chin.
Misdemeanor court Judge Jane Roden will decide his sentence during a hearing on Thursday. He faces up to a year in the county jail but could receive probation.
