ATLANTA
A federal indictment unsealed Tuesday charges former Fulton County Jail Sergeant Khadijah Solomon, 47, with allegedly using excessive force on three separate occasions in January 2025 and filing false reports to cover it up.
Solomon is accused of repeatedly tasing compliant, non-resisting pretrial detainees, causing pain and injury, and then falsifying official reports to conceal the abuse, officials stated.
“Law enforcement officers in this district perform their duties professionally and honorably, but those who abuse their power will be held accountable for their unlawful conduct,” said U.S. Attorney Theodore S. Hertzberg for the Northern District of Georgia. “On three occasions, Khadijah Solomon allegedly tased Fulton County Jail detainees without a legitimate purpose, causing each of them pain and injury. Abuses of power of this kind are unconstitutional, erode our community’s trust, and will be prosecuted.”
The defendant is presumed innocent unless proven guilty.
The six-count indictment includes:
-
Three civil rights violations (up to 10 years in prison each)
-
Three counts of false reporting (up to 20 years each)
The case is being investigated by the FBI Atlanta Field Office, following a referral from the Fulton County Sheriff’s Office.
Prosecutors include Assistant U.S. Attorneys Bret Hobson, Brent Gray, and DOJ Trial Attorney Briana M. Clark.
