Deputy Jarvis Bryant – Leon County Sheriff’s Office

On May 17, 2016, Deputy Bryant was involved in an altercation with an inmate at the Leon County Jail. The inmate alleged that Bryant used excessive force, including choking and pepper-spraying him without provocation. An internal investigation found that Bryant violated department policy by improperly escorting the inmate, resulting in an eight-hour suspension. The inmate filed a lawsuit alleging civil rights violations, but the court granted summary judgment in favor of Bryant, concluding that the force used was not excessive.
