A grand jury in Tarrant County has indicted two jail employees for murder in the death of an inmate earlier this year. Anthony Johnson Jr, 31, died in April after the sheriff's department says he refused a check of his cell. The department released about five minutes of video showing an altercation between Johnson and employees.
When releasing the video, Sheriff Bill Waybourn said it showed detention officers "using a technique that, number one, he was not trained to do, and number two, that we do not tolerate, nor do we want done."
