Gregory Cornell Butler Jr. and Christian Charles Miles, both 21—and their supervisor, Christopher Raymond Hendershott, 50, were charged with misdemeanor counts of cruelty to a prisoner and conspiracy.
According to The Oklahoman, Miles admitted that he and Butler “systematically worked together” and used a visitation room at the jail “as a means to discipline inmates and teach them a lesson.”
Per court documents,
“Butler also confirmed that he used the booth as a means of punishment. The playing of the music was said to be a joke between Miles and Butler.”
However, the repetitive tune put “undue emotional stress on the inmates who were most likely already suffering from physical stressors.”
Oklahoma County District Attorney David Prater said he would have liked to file felony charges if there was a statute.
“It was unfortunate that I could not find a felony statute to fit this fact scenario,” Prater said. “I would have preferred filing a felony on this behavior.”
