Synopsis as reported by the agency
After an investigation, it was determined that Officer Joyner turned off his body worn camera for no apparent reason during the escort of an Incarcerated Person. Officer Joyner also admitted to bringing food into the secured premises and had the Incarcerated Persons cook for him and keep any leftovers. Additionally, Officer Joyner was observed "horse playing" with another Incarcerated Person and pushed them which constitutes excessive use of force. Officer Joyner did not document the incident via written report to a use of force form, he failed to inform a supervisor of the incident and failed to provide any medical attention to the Incarcerated Person. Officer Joyner failed to write a report about the activation of his body worn camera. Officer Joyner signed a settlement agreement on this matter on April 4, 2024.
