A former Monroe, Louisiana, police officer has been indicted by a federal grand jury for kicking a man who was under arrest and then attempting to cover up the "unjustified force," the Department of Justice said Thursday.
Jared Desadier, 43, faces two counts in the indictment, including willfully depriving an individual of his right to be free from unreasonable seizure, and witness tampering, the Justice Department said in a news release.
Desadier faces up to 30 years in prison for both charges if he's convicted. Online records do not list an attorney for Desadier. It's unclear if he has legal representation who would comment on his behalf.
