A former FranklinTownship police officer has pleaded guilty to charges of kicking a handcuffed suspect in the head last year.

Sentencing is pending for 49-year-old Robert Wells, whose actions in the May 1 incident were captured on cellphone video. Wells later resigned. His attorney says Wells didn't realize Anthony Foster was being handcuffed.

Jim has been with WCBE since 1996. Before that he worked as a reporter at another Columbus radio station, and for three newspapers in Southwest Florida.
