OKLAHOMA<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Johnnie Drewery, 27, a former Sergeant with the Grady County Jail, in Chickasha, Oklahoma, plead guilty Wednesday to beating an inmate, according to authorities.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Drewery used unreasonable force against an inmate, thereby violating the inmate\u2019s constitutional civil rights, officials stated.<\/span><\/p>\n

\n
\n
\n

According to court documents and admissions Drewery made during the plea hearing, Drewery, on July 11, 2020, was involved with changing an inmate, D.H., into a suicide smock and then moving D.H. into a first floor holding cell. <\/span><\/p>\n

Drewery put D.H. into the holding cell and, as the cell door was closing, D.H. spit on Drewery. <\/span><\/p>\n

Drewery then screamed for the cell door to be reopened. <\/span><\/p>\n

When the cell door was unlocked, Drewery rushed into the cell and, in retaliation for being spit on, began to use his hands and knee to strike D.H, which resulted in D.H. suffering a fractured rib as a result of this assault. \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"\u201cThe defendant is being held accountable for using excessive force against a man inside of a jail cell who was not posing a threat at the time he was assaulted,\u201d said Assistant Attorney General Kristen Clarke of the Justice Department\u2019s Civil Rights Division.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cLaw enforcement and corrections officers put their lives on the line every day to keep us safe,\u201d said U.S. Attorney Robert J. Troester for the Western District of Oklahoma. \u201cBut when an officer betrays the badge and the public\u2019s trust, as the defendant did here, they dishonor their profession and endanger the safety of their fellow officers. I commend the Oklahoma City FBI Field Office and the entire prosecution team for their diligent work on this case.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cThe FBI is the primary federal agency tasked with investigating violations of federal civil rights,\u201d said Special Agent in Charge Edward J. Gray of the FBI Oklahoma City Field Office. \u201cAlong with our partners at the Department of Justice, we work to protect the civil rights of all to ensure that individuals are treated fairly when they are in the custody of law enforcement. We take this responsibility seriously and will hold law enforcement officers accountable when they abuse their authority by using excessive force.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Drewery is facing up to 10 years imprisonment and a $250,000 fine.\u00a0 Sentencing is set to begin in about 90 days.<\/span><\/p>\n
