A federal jury found Huntsville Police Officer Brett Russell guilty Thursday night of violating a suspect's civil rights by beating him in custody and of obstructing justice by trying to cover it up. 


Russell was taken into custody in the federal courthouse in downtown Huntsville immediately after the verdict and transported to an isolation cell in the Morgan County Jail. Because of the violent nature of his crime, federal prosecutors objected to Russell's continued release on bond while awaiting sentencing. Sentencing is tentatively set in two months.


A police car video showed Russell pulling domestic violence suspect Gary Wayne Hopkins of out the back of a squad car in 2011, then hitting and kicking Hopkins as he was held down by other officers. Hopkins had kicked out the squad car's window and allegedly called Russell a racial slur.
