A former Madison police officer pleaded not guilty in federal court today to charges stemming from his encounter with an Indian grandfather who suffered serious injury after being slammed face-first to the ground.

Eric Parker, 26, appeared before U.S. Magistrate Harwell Davis along with his attorney Robert Tuten. Tuten told the court Parker was pleading not guilty to the charge.

Davis ordered a $5,000 bond for Parker, who was quickly processed and left the federal courthouse in Huntsville without addressing the media gathered outside.
