William Frazier Found Guilty
80 year old William Frazier - the man at the center of an $8 million lawsuit against the Huntsville Police Department - has been found guilty of several traffic offenses.
After multiple delays, Frazier finally appeared in Municipal Court on Monday, flanked by several family members and supporters. In the end, a judge found him guilty on three charges - fleeing and eluding police, driving without a license, and failure to yield right of way. The charges stem from a February 1st incident where Frazier led police on a low speed chase, with several close calls with other cars.
Frazier claims when that chase ended, he was injured by police officers. In April, the city released that video. Frazier is seen running a red light, hitting a curb and swerving several times. The video shows Frazier being torn from the car, but there is no visible evidence of any physical attacks from officers.
His lawsuit is still pending.
