\nA former central Kentucky sheriff’s deputy has been convicted on charges that he arrested a man for crimes he didn’t commit.<\/p>\n
A federal grand jury on Friday convicted Matthew Corder of Louisville, who was a Bullitt County sheriff’s deputy. Corder was charged with two counts of willfully depriving a man identified in the indictment only as “D.B.” of his constitutional rights.<\/p>\n
Evidence presented at the four-day trial included body-camera footage of the arrest after Corder in 2014 entered the home of a man who had insulted him, tased him in the back and arrested him for crimes he did not commit, causing the man to be jailed for weeks and lose his job.<\/p>\n
The charges of disorderly conduct and fleeing and evading were ultimately dismissed.<\/p>\n
Corder faces a maximum sentence of 10 years on one charge, and one year on the other. Sentencing is scheduled for October 17.<\/p>\n
This case was investigated by the FBI’s Louisville Division, and was prosecuted by Assistant U.S. Attorney Amanda Gregory of the Western District of Kentucky and Trial Attorney Christopher Perras of the Civil Rights Division’s Criminal Section.
