A Louisiana sheriff’s deputy who admitted to beating a detainee in a jailhouse laundry room after ordering him to strip naked, bend over, and cough during the booking process has learned his fate.

Javarrea Pouncy, 31, a former sergeant with the DeSoto Parish Sheriff’s Office, was sentenced on Tuesday to 37 months in prison, the U.S. Attorney’s Office announced in a press release. He pleaded guilty in April to a count of using excessive force against the detainee. A second deputy involved in the assault, DeMarkes Grant, previously pleaded guilty to one count of obstructing justice and was sentenced to 10 months in prison.
