TYLER, TX Prosecutors said Friday the men were acting as Houston County law enforcement officials when they entered the home of one of the deputies and assaulted a man before driving him to Davy Crockett National Forest.

Both deputies are facing charges of conspiracy, violation of civil rights and assault on federal land with a firearm.
