\"brownGregory Evans, 50, a former Captain with the Madison County Detention Center, in Richmond, Kentucky, was sentenced to two years in federal prison and three years of supervised release, officials announced Friday.<\/span><\/p>\n

Evans plead guilty to using unreasonable force against a detainee, thereby violating the detainee\u2019s civil rights.<\/span><\/p>\n

According to court documents and statements made at the sentencing hearing, Evans was escorting the victim, E.B., down a hallway when Evans grabbed E.B. out of anger, strangled him and repeatedly punched him. <\/span><\/p>\n

Evans\u2019s assault caused E.B. to lose consciousness and Evans then punched E.B. in the back and face while E.B. was unconscious. E.B. suffered a broken jaw as a result of the assault. <\/span><\/p>\n

Evans was aware that chokeholds were banned at Madison County Detention Center and that punching and strangling E.B. out of anger was an unreasonable use of force. <\/span><\/p>\n

Following the assault, Evans falsified an incident report and made false statements to the FBI. Specifically, Evans falsely claimed that he had ordered E.B. to turn around prior to the assault, that E.B. ignored his commands, and he deliberately omitted the fact that he had strangled E.B.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cThe defendant abused his authority as a law enforcement officer and betrayed the public\u2019s trust when he violently assaulted a detainee in his custody,\u201d said Assistant Attorney General Kristen Clarke of the Justice Department\u2019s Civil Rights Division. \u201cLaw enforcement officials who abuse inmates and detainees are not above the law, and we will continue to vigorously prosecute those who deprive individuals of their Constitutional rights.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cThe defendant was supposed to be law enforcement; instead, he broke the law and violated the rights of someone in his custody,\u201d said U.S. Attorney Carlton S. Shier IV for the Eastern District of Kentucky.\u00a0\u201cToday, he learned the consequence of his criminal conduct. We will continue our efforts to prosecute excessive force violations, and strive to restore some of the public trust that is lost whenever these crimes occur.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

This case was investigated by the FBI Lexington resident agency.<\/span><\/p>\n

The case was prosecuted by Assistant U.S. Attorney Zachary Dembo for the Eastern District of Kentucky and Trial Attorney Andrew Manns of the Justice Department\u2019s Civil Rights Division.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
