MARION, Al.
A fired Alabama state trooper has pleaded guilty to the second-degree assault of a woman during a traffic stop in Perry County.
Former trooper Kerry Horton of Selma entered the plea today in Marion. He's scheduled to report to the Perry County Jail next month to begin a seven-month sentence. That will be followed by five years on probation.
The state Department of Public Safety fired Horton in 2008 after a young woman accused him of driving her to a remote location and fondling her while she tried to push him away.
District Attorney Michael Jackson said the case shows nobody is above the law.
