The second federal unreasonable force trial of a former Alabama police chief has again resulted in a hung jury.

The jury in federal court in Mobile was unable to reach a verdict Wednesday in the trial of ex-Citronelle Police Chief John Tyler Norris, who is accused of kneeing a person in police custody in the stomach in 2021, Fox 10 reported.

The verdict in the case was not in court records as of early Wednesday evening.

Norris was charged with deprivation of rights under color of law, “which includes the right to be free from the use of unreasonable force by a law enforcement officer,” and witness tampering for allegedly misleading state authorities investigating the incident, according to the indictment filed against him last year.

Norris allegedly kneed the victim, only identified by the initials I.M., “multiple times” in the stomach on June 30, 2021.

The former Citronelle police chief also allegedly “knowingly and willfully” misled special agents with the Alabama Law Enforcement Agency “in a statement he provided in connection with ALEA’s investigation of the unlawful force against I.M.” on Sept. 7, 2021, according to the indictment.

Norris’ first trial also resulted in a hung jury.
