An ex-Alabama prison supervisor has been indicted on federal charges in connection with assaults on two inmates.

Former Alabama Department of Corrections Lt. Mohammad Shahid Jenkins is indicted on charges of excessive force and obstruction, according to U.S. Department of Justice and Northern District of Alabama U.S. Attorney’s Office announcement. He was a supervisor at William Donaldson Correctional Facility in Jefferson County.

The four-count indictment was issued in January, and unsealed on Tuesday, records show.

According to the indictment, Jenkins used excessive force on two inmates identified in court documents only as V.R. and D.H.

The indictment alleges that on Feb. 16, 2022, Jenkins “willfully deprived inmate V.R. of his right to be free from excessive force” by kicking him, hitting him, spraying him with chemical spray, striking him with a can of chemical spray and striking him with a shoe.

Count two of the indictment alleges that, on Nov. 29, 2021, Jenkins sprayed D.H. with chemical spray multiple times, striking him with a can of chemical spray and hitting him.

Additionally, the indictment alleges both inmates suffered bodily injury as a result of Jenkins’s actions, and that Jenkins used dangerous weapons — chemical spray and the chemical spray can — in both assaults.

Under the third count of the indictment, Jenkins is accused of falsifying an ADOC incident report on Feb. 16, 2022. He is also accused of misleading conduct toward ADOC and FBI agents during an interview about his use of force.

The announcement does not say when Jenkins left Donaldson.

The FBI Birmingham Field Office investigated the case with the assistance of ADOC’s Law Enforcement Services Division.

Assistant U.S. Attorney George Martin for the Northern District of Alabama and Trial Attorneys Anna Gotfryd and David Reese of the Civil Rights Division’s Criminal Section are prosecuting the case.

If convicted, Jenkins faces a maximum sentence of 10 years in prison on each excessive force charge and 20 years in prison on each obstruction charge. He also faces up to three years of supervised release and a fine of up to $250,000.
