KANSAS CITY, MO
A federal grand jury indicted a Jackson County Detention Center jail guard for allegedly kicking an inmate who was restrained in the head.
Young Isinwa, 45, of Kansas City, Mo., was charged Wednesday with violating the civil rights of the inmate by using unreasonable force, officials said.
That indictment was unsealed and made public Thursday upon Isinwa’s arrest and initial court appearance.
Isinwa, while on duty working as a correctional officer on Oct. 16, 2011, officials said Isinwa allegedly kicked “M.F.” in the head while the inmate was restrained and not posing a threat to Isinwa or others.
The inmate suffered bodily injury as a result, officials said.
Isinwa is presumed innocent until proven guilty.
The FBI investigated this case.
