MEMPHIS, Tenn. (AP) — A Ripley, Tenn., police officer has been indicted by a federal grand jury on charges of choking an unidentified person and obstruction of justice.

The U.S. attorney’s office in Memphis said Thursday that 47-year-old Stephen Michael Kirkpatrick was indicted on federal civil rights charges stemming from an incident last May 17. Prosecutors said the victim was hurt, but further details were not released other than saying a week later, Kirkpatrick “attempted to corruptly persuade an unnamed person in an official proceeding.”

He faces 30 years in prison and fines of $500,000.
