SHREVEPORT, LA (KSLA) - A grand jury has indicted a former Homer, La. police officer for civil rights violations and for lying to FBI agents, U.S. Attorney Stephanie Finley's office announced Thursday.
Willie Fred Knowles, 64, of Homer has been charged with three counts of deprivation of civil rights and one count of lying to a federal agency. According to the indictment, on October 29, 2012 Knowles pushed a victim to the floor and struck the victim in the face and body, causing injury. Knowles reportedly lied to FBI agents on March 1, 2013 and told them he was attacked and never struck the victim.
He is also accused of using his stun gun on two people- one on January 14, 2012 and then on July 5, 2012- without justification, causing injury.
Knowles faces 10 years in prison for each civil rights violation and five years for lying to a federal agency. He also faces three years of supervised release and a $250,000 fine.
