Anthony Boen – Franklin County Sheriff’s Office

Written by CBKN76

Former Sheriff Anthony Boen was convicted in August 2021 on two counts of violating the civil rights of inmates by using unreasonable force. In December 2018, Boen struck a detainee multiple times in the head with a closed fist while the detainee was sitting on the floor and shackled to a bench inside the Franklin County Jail. In November 2018, Boen slammed a detainee onto the floor and ripped his hair during an interrogation. Both detainees suffered bodily injury as a result of Boen’s actions. He was sentenced to four years in federal prison in March 2022 and ordered to pay $5,000 in fines.
