Two former Webster Parish jail officers have pleaded guilty to misdemeanor charges in connection with the abuse of a Bayou Dorcheat Correctional Center inmate. Brian Mitten pleaded guilty to simple battery and was fined $500 plus court costs. John Smith entered a guilty plea late last month and received the same sentence. Both were fired when an internal investigation got under way. The probe was prompted by a complaint from inmate Jimmy Smith, who alleged he was handcuffed to a cell, forced to remove his clothes, then hit with a belt and threatened with a mop handle. The sentences were issued last week. |
