Two Wabash Valley Correctional Facility officers have been suspended without pay after they were arrested on charges they attacked a handcuffed prisoner, authorities said. Johnnie Murphy, 42, and Thomas Troy Matney, 33, both of Sullivan, face misdemeanor charges of battery resulting in bodily injury. Murphy was arrested Tuesday, and Matney was arrested last Wednesday by Indiana State Police. Both were released from custody after posting bond. Inmate Jermarcus Grandberry told prison investigators Matney and another officer injured him when they struck him in the face and head with their fists. Sullivan County Prosecutor Bob Springer said the attack happened June 24 at the prison about 35 miles south of Terre Haute. Two other officers reported the attack to prison officials, and the beating was confirmed by a third correctional officer working at the time, according to a prison report. |
