Five Mississippi deputy sheriffs who responded to an incident where two Black men accused them of beating and sexually assaulting them before shooting one in the mouth have been fired or resigned, authorities have confirmed.
The announcement came on Tuesday, June 27, months after Michael Corey Jenkins and friend Eddie Terrell Parker said deputies from the Rankin County Sheriff's Department burst into a home without a warrant.
The men accused the deputies of beating them, assaulting them with a sex toy and repeatedly shocking them with Tasers during the roughly 90-minute ordeal on January 24.
