Muskogee, OK -- A former officer at the Muskogee County/City Detention Facility pleaded guilty Wednesday for assaulting an inmate and covering up the assault. Jerrod Porter Lane, 26, pleaded guilty in federal court to use of excessive force, violating the civil rights of an inmate, falsifying records and making false statements to the FBI. Court documents state Lane sprayed the inmate with pepper spray while the inmate was restrained in a chair and not a physical threat. The documents state Lane used the spray to punish the inmate for bothering Lane, according to a media release by the Department of Justice. Lane then falsified his report and a fellow corrections officer’s report and later lied to FBI agents. Lane wrote in both reports that the inmate was physically resisting the officers and Lane used the spray before the inmate was fully restrained. Read More. |
