A Georgia sheriff is facing federal civil rights charges after prosecutors say he punished people in his custody – including a 17-year-old boy accused of vandalism – by strapping them in a restraint chair for hours.
Clayton County Sheriff Victor Hill was indicted this month after prosecutors alleged he used unreasonable force when ordering pretrial detainees to be restrained for hours even while they posed no threat and complied with police. The indictment was filed April 19 and unsealed by a federal judge Monday.
