style=\"font-size: 14pt;\"><strong>Here are the facts and circumstances surrounding this case:<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">Waller was arrested at Ballpark Village on July 22, 2014, because he was unlawfully in possession of a credit card that belonged to Carroll\u2019s daughter. \u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">Carroll, who was on duty that night, responded to Ballpark Village and confronted Waller, who was already under arrest, handcuffed and seated in the backseat of another officer\u2019s patrol car. \u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">Carroll yelled at Waller, telling him that he made a \u201chuge mistake\u201d and \u201cbroke into the wrong girl\u2019s car.\u201d<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">Another police officer then drove Waller to the Central Patrol police station, and Carroll followed behind in his own patrol car.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">Carroll admitted that, despite orders from a superior officer to stay away from Waller, he entered the interview room where Waller was handcuffed and shackled to the floor. \u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">Carroll began yelling at Waller, questioning him about who broke into his daughter\u2019s car. \u00a0Carroll threw Waller into a chair and then picked him up and threw him into a wall. \u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">While Waller. was on the ground, Carroll punched Waller in the torso. \u00a0Waller was handcuffed throughout the assault. \u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">As a result, Waller suffered bodily injury.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">Waller never posed a threat to Carroll. \u00a0Nonetheless, Carroll assaulted Waller knowing it was wrong and against the law to do so, and knowing that it violated his oath as police officer, officials said.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">By pleading guilty today, Carroll admitted that he deprived the victim of his constitutional right to be free from unreasonable seizure, which includes the right to be free from unreasonable force by a law enforcement officer.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">In a separate but related case, <strong>Bliss Worrel<\/strong>l, 28, of Clayton, Missouri, a former prosecutor for the St. Louis Circuit Attorney\u2019s Office, was sentenced Thursday to 18
