WRTV Investigates Kara Kenney fights for what's right and holds those in power accountable.
Former Muncie police officer Corey Posey is not guilty of false reporting, a federal jury announced Wednesday evening.He is the fifth Muncie police officer in the federal government’s case against current and former Muncie Police officers — for police brutality or attempting to cover it up.The remaining four former Muncie police officers have already pleaded guilty to charges. They are either in prison or have already served their prison time.
The federal judge rejected the sentence saying that probation was not strict enough for a law enforcement officer’s false reporting. Posey omitted from the report that his colleague, Officer Chase Winkle, struck Gannom’s head and neck with his knee and also omitted that Winkle caused Gannom’s injuries, the indictment read.During his last trial, Posey testified in his own defense and said he felt Gannom was not cooperating with his commands during the arrest and at one point pulled his arm away.
Posey said that when he wrote the report, Posey knew he didn’t cause Gannom’s injuries. There were several officers at the scene but Posey didn’t know who caused the injuries, Posey testified.
