A Rhode Island State Trooper accused of assaulting a suspect will be arraigned in court Wednesday morning.

James Donnelly-Taylor, a five year veteran of the State Police, was indicted earlier this month on charges of simple assault for an incident that allegedly took place in February.

Donnelly-Taylor is accused of using physical force on a suspect in the cellblock after making an arrest at a traffic stop.
