Two corrections officers have agreed to plead guilty to federal charges in connection with the death of a mentally ill man who froze to death, bringing the total number of jail employees who have entered plea agreements to eight.
Federal court records filed recently show that Daniel Lee Allen Brown will plead guilty to a federal charge of deprivation of civil rights under color of law, while Megan Johnson will plead guilty to a federal charge of criminal conspiracy to deprive an inmate of their rights. Both Brown and Johnson were corrections officers at Walker County Jail during the two-week period when Tony Mitchell was incarcerated.
