Former Clayton County Sheriff Victor Hill posted a video on social media of himself boarding a private plane on Monday, hours before he was to turn himself in to a federal prison in Arkansas.

Hill was required to report to FCI Forrest City Low in Forest City, Arkansas by noon Monday, according to federal court documents. FCI Forrest City Low is “a low-security facility with an adjacent minimum security satellite camp,” according to the Federal Bureau of Prisons.

In the video Hill posted on Monday, he was dressed in cargo shorts and a tiger vacation shirt as he boarded a private jet.

A federal jury convicted Hill in October of violating the civil rights of six detainees at the Clayton County Jail. The government said Hill disregarded the detainees’ constitutional rights by putting them in restraint chairs for hours as punishment.

Hill’s attorney Drew Finley maintained that the former sheriff is innocent and filed an appeal in March after Hill was sentenced.

Earlier in May, Hill and his legal team filed a motion for him to stay out on bond while he appeals his case and move his self-surrender date to federal prison.

U.S. District Court Judge Eleanor Ross, who presided over Hill’s trial, denied the motion.
