Brandon Shane Mundy, Assaulting Arrestee, Alabama 2009

A former police officer who lost control of his temper has been sentenced to serve five years in prison for assaulting an arrestee in Town Creek, Alabama.

Brandon Shane Mundy, a former Town Creek, Ala., police officer, was sentenced to serve five years in prison and three years of supervised release, and to pay $3,745 in restitution for violating the civil rights of a man during the course of an arrest.

Mundy previously pleaded guilty on April 25, 2013, to one count of willfully depriving the man of his constitutional right to be free from excessive force by a law enforcement officer acting under color of law.

According to information presented to the court, on Nov. 22, 2009, Mundy was involved in a vehicle pursuit and fired shots at a man’s vehicle before later ramming the vehicle and causing it to wreck in a ditch.

While another police officer reached the man and placed him under arrest without resistance, Mundy arrived and unjustifiably and repeatedly beat the man in the head with an object that was either a baton or a flashlight causing the man to suffer physical injury.

After Mundy lost control of the object, he continued to strike the man in the head with his fist.

“Every police officer is sworn to serve and protect, and virtually all of them take that oath seriously,” said Joyce White Vance, U.S. Attorney for the Northern District of Alabama. “This officer did not, and assaulted a citizen in violation of his oath.”

Jocelyn Samuels, Acting Assistant Attorney General for the Civil Rights Division, added, “When law enforcement officers abuse their power and violate the civil rights of those in custody, they will be held accountable.”
