From The Tribune staff reports
MONTGOMERY — A former Alabama Department of Corrections (ADOC) sergeant was indicted for assaulting inmates and falsifying a report at ADOC’s Draper Correctional Facility.
The indictment further alleges that Mills submitted a false written statement in connection with the incident. Specifically, the indictment alleges that Mills falsely wrote in his statement that he had not used any force against the three inmate victims.
Mills faces a statutory maximum sentence of 10 years in prison for each civil rights charge and 20 years in prison for the obstruction of justice offense.
An indictment is merely an allegation, and all defendants are presumed innocent until proven guilty beyond a reasonable doubt in a court of law.
