Several drivers had called 911 to say that Hinton was standing in the turn lane yelling and holding a gun.
Hinton admited he was intoxicated and upset after losing his money at a nearby sweepstakes parlor but maintains the two troopers and the deputy used excessive force.
"I'm definitely excited about the outcome about the indictments of the officers," Hinton told ABC11 during a previous interview. "I do say thank you to the DA and everyone who helped in the investigation ... we're going to press forward for absolute justice, which would be a conviction."
ABC11 has reached out to the sheriff's office but officials have yet to comment.
