Clayton County deputy defends Sheriff, questions origins of federal indictment Clayton County deputy speaks out in defense of Sheriff Hill The deputy spoke exclusively to FOX 5 in defense of Clayton County Sheriff Victor Hill who has been federally indicted. CLAYTON COUNTY, Ga. - Lt. Joshua Guthrie still can t believe his boss, Clayton County Sheriff Victor Hill, has been indicted on federal civil rights violations over the use of restraint chairs at the Clayton County Jail in 2020. The deputy said he thinks it s odd considering the many other violent encounters between law enforcement officers and civilians across the country. If you just look at the George Floyd case, my understanding is that it was never handled on a federal level, just at the state level. I do believe that all of this stems from political means, said Lt. Guthrie, who s worked for the Clayton County Sheriff s Office for three years.
