A jury found Euclid Police Officer Michael Amiott guilty on one count of assault and one count of interfering with civil rights in his excessive force trial on Friday. Amiott was found not guilty on a second assault count.

Sentencing will take place at a later date.

The trial of Amiott continued on Friday for its fifth day. After closing arguments took place, the judge gave instructions to the jury prior to them beginning deliberations. The verdict was reached in a matter of hours.

Amiott was charged in connection with a violent traffic stop in August of 2017. Cell phone video showed the officer repeatedly punching Richard Hubbard after the latter was pulled over for an unspecified moving violation.
