Darrell Taylor, 32, was indicted Wednesday by a federal grand jury in Louisville, Kentucky, for using unlawful force against a pretrial detainee while Taylor was an officer at the Louisville Metro Department of Corrections.
Wednesday’s indictment charges Taylor with one count of deprivation of rights under color of law. The indictment alleges that Taylor used unreasonable force when he assaulted pretrial detainee B.R., resulting in bodily injury to B.R., including a broken jaw.
If Taylor is convicted of the charge, he faces up to 10 years of imprisonment. Taylor is presumed innocent unless proven guilty.
This case was investigated by the FBI Louisville Field Office.
