A detention officer in Fulton County, Georgia<\/a>, is facing multiple felony charges after he allegedly assaulted inmates at the Fulton County Jail on Sunday and then failed to accurately report what happened, according to officials.<\/p>\n

Detention Officer Demarcus Whatley, 25, is charged with three felony counts of aggravated assault, three felony\u00a0counts of cruelty to inmates, four felony counts of violation of oath by a public officer, one count of false statements and writings, concealment of facts, and fraudulent documents, and one count of reckless conduct. He is behind bars with no bond.<\/p>\n

Officials said the Jail Investigation Unit began looking into Whatley after receiving an emergency inmate grievance against him, FOX 5 Atlanta reported.<\/p>\n

After analyzing video footage, it was determined that he used excessive force on three inmates during an incident on Sunday and failed to accurately report it.<\/p>\n

“Detention officers have the responsibility of treating those in their custody humanely and with respect,”<\/a> Fulton County Sheriff Patrick Labat said\u00a0in a statement.\u00a0<\/p>\n

He continued: “When an officer deviates from this duty, they must be held accountable. The Fulton County Sheriff\u2019s Office is committed to thoroughly investigating claims of officer misconduct. As sheriff, I remain committed to transparency and taking action swiftly and appropriately should those claims be sustained.”<\/p>\n

Whatley, who was hired as a detention officer on March 1, has been terminated by the sheriff’s office<\/a>.<\/p>\n

There have been several incidents of alleged misconduct by Fulton County Jail officers<\/a> in recent months, FOX 5 Atlanta reported.<\/p>\n

In early June, Detention Officer Monique Clark was arrested after bodycam footage allegedly showed him choking a detainee at the Alpharetta Police Department until she passed out after she refused to take a mugshot.<\/p>\n

In March, Detention Officer Kawana Jenkins, 36, was arrested after a phone discovered during a shakedown inside the jail’s maximum security wing allegedly showed that she engaged in an inappropriate relationship with a prisoner.<\/p>\n

Jenkins was charged with two counts of improper sexual contact by employee or agent,<\/a> five counts of violation of oath by a public officer, two counts of reckless conduct, two counts of cruelty to inmates, and one count of obtaining, procuring or giving an inmate prohibited items without authorization.<\/p>\n

In February, Detention Officer Reynard Trotman was arrested after allegedly assaulting an inmate. He was charged with seven counts of violation of oath by a public officer, two counts of aggravated assault, two counts of battery, reckless conduct, cruelty to an inmate and conspiracy to commit a felony.<\/p>\n

All officers charged in recent months have been terminated from their positions.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
