LOUISVILLE, Ky. (AP) — A former jail officer in Kentucky has been convicted in federal court of using unlawful force on an inmate.
Thirty-two-year-old Darrell Taylor is a former officer with the Louisville Metro Department of Corrections.
He was found guilty by a federal jury in Louisville.
The Justice Department says the detainee, who suffered serious injury, including a broken and displaced jaw, did not testify.
The Justice Department said the director of the detention center testified that the force shown on a video entered as evidence was not consistent with training.
Taylor faces up to 10 years when he is sentenced Jan. 25.
