Source: DOJ / DOJINDIANAPOLIS — A former correctional officer has been sentenced to federal prison after using excessive, unlawful force against a handcuffed inmate at a maximum-security prison in Indiana. Shaunacy Edmonds, 36, of Muncie, was sentenced to five months in federal prison, followed by two years of supervised release, by U.S. District Judge James R. Sweeney, II. Edmonds served as a sergeant and correctional officer at the Pendleton Correctional Facility—a level-three maximum-security adult prison operated by the Indiana Department of Correction (IDOC)—where he had been employed since August 2020. As other officers attempted to gain control of the inmate, Edmonds delivered six closed-fist strikes to E.C. He was subsequently fired from his position as a correctional officer.
