Arrests & Sentencing

Facundo Chavez conviction will result in the death penalty or life in prison without parole

Lt. Michael Boutte of the Hancock County Sheriff's Department was shot in the face and head on Feb. 1, 2021, while responding to a call about a suicide threat

Before Casey White’s escape last year, he was already essentially serving a life sentence following multiple felony convictions in 2019

The woman told deputies that she came to the jail to visit her ex-boyfriend, who was an inmate at the facility

NYPD Officer Edward Byrne was killed by drug dealers while guarding the home of a witness; he was just 22 years old

In addition to a 43-month prison sentence, the ex-CO was sentenced to two years of supervised release and will have to forfeit the $77,894 he obtained illegally

The CO faces a maximum of 10 years in prison and a $250,000 fine on the civil rights charge and five years and $250,000 on the obstruction charge

Seven inmates were killed and dozens were wounded in the riot at the Lee Correctional Institution on the night of April 15, 2018

Price had served 19 years of a 35-year mandatory sentence when a judge issued a directive for him to be released for giving information to prison officials

The ex-CO was convicted of perjury before the grand jury, but jurors couldn't decide on other counts accusing her of trying to get other COs to cover up the attack

One CO wrote in his plea agreement that he called an inmate he supervised into his office and told her he could make her time in prison easier or more difficult

The man's early release was through a law that allows inmates to have their sentences reduced if they help prison officials

The death penalty filing cites four aggravating circumstances, including that Deputy Durm was killed while performing “his duty as a law enforcement officer"

The suspect used his handcuff chain to strangle Deputy Durm; he then found the handcuff key, unlocked himself and drove a short distance

Marion County Sheriff’s Deputy John Durm, 61, died at a hospital following the attack, which police are investigating as an “intentional act of homicide"
