ALEXANDER, AR - The trial for a former Alexander police officer charged with manslaughter is under way.
Nancy Cummings pleaded not guilty after being arrested for shooting and killing Carleton Wallace while working patrol in 2012.
The former officer said she saw Wallace walking down the road with a gun in his waistband, which he then tossed into the woods. Cummings says during the subsequent search of Wallace, her gun went off accidentally.
The Alexander Police Department confirmed that Cummings had not been trained to patrol the streets, which is allowed under state law.
