| 2022 |
In December 2022, former Officer Chase Winkle of the Muncie Police Department (MPD) in Indiana pleaded guilty to eleven civil rights and obstruction charges: five for assaulting people he had arrested and six for writing false reports to cover up the assaults. Winkle, the son of the former police chief, was later sentenced to ten years in prison and two years of supervised release. Winkle was one of four MPD officers indicted in April 2021 in a seventeen-count superseding indictment for use of excessive force and/or covering up misconduct. On multiple occasions, Winkle and other officers physically assaulted people who were not resisting arrest. In one such instance, during a traffic stop due to a missing headlight, former MPD Officer Jeremy Gibson repeatedly punched the driver, Manny Montero, in the face and Winkle delivered two knee strikes to Montero’s head. Following the incident, Winkle wrote a false report. Montero later filed a lawsuit against the City and received a $250,000 settlement. Sources |
