A former Selma police officer was sentenced Friday to five years of probation in a federal obstruction case involving an on-duty incident in Dallas County last year.
Matthew Blaine Till, 34, pleaded guilty in September to three felony obstruction of justice charges. In doing so, he admitted that on April 30, 2020, he used force against a citizen while on duty as a Selma police officer. Afterward, said Southern District of Alabama U.S. Attorney Richard Moore, Till instructed a fellow law enforcement officer not to say anything to anyone – including a federal agent.
