Gann who was placed on probation for two years with a special condition that he
spend six months in home detention.
Grigg previously pleaded guilty to conspiring with Gilpatrick and Loftis to have the
victim assaulted, and co-defendant Gann previously pleaded guilty to lying to
federal investigators during the investigation of this incident.
“These law enforcement officers pledged to protect and serve, not to victimize and
lie,” said Wan J. Kim, Assistant Attorney General for the Civil Rights Division.
“The criminal behavior of these aberrant officers seriously undermines the dedicated
efforts of the vast majority of law enforcement officers who serve honorably.”
The Civil Rights Division is committed to the vigorous enforcement of every federal
criminal civil rights statute, such as laws that prohibit the willful use of excessive
force or other acts of misconduct by law enforcement officials. In fiscal year 2006,
nearly 50 percent of the cases brought by the Criminal Section of the Civil Rights
Division involved such prosecutions. Since fiscal year 2001, the Division has
convicted 50 percent more defendants for excessive force and official misconduct
than in the preceding six years.
Assistant U.S. Attorney William Cohen for the Middle District of Tennessee and
Civil Rights Division attorneys Gerry Hogan and Jim Felte prosecuted this case for
the government.
