Former ADOC Lt. Mohammad Shahid Jenkins is indicted on charges of excessive force and obstruction, according to U.S. DOJ and Northern District of Alabama U.S. Attorney’s Office announcement. He was a supervisor at William Donaldson Correctional Facility.
An ex-Alabama prison supervisor has been indicted on federal charges in connection with assaults on two inmates.
The indictment alleges that on Feb. 16, 2022, Jenkins “willfully deprived inmate V.R. of his right to be free from excessive force” by kicking him, hitting him, spraying him with chemical spray, striking him with a can of chemical spray and striking him with a shoe. Additionally, the indictment alleges both inmates suffered bodily injury as a result of Jenkins’s actions, and that Jenkins used dangerous weapons — chemical spray and the chemical spray can — in both assaults.
Assistant U.S. Attorney George Martin for the Northern District of Alabama and Trial Attorneys Anna Gotfryd and David Reese of the Civil Rights Division’s Criminal Section are prosecuting the case.
