The allegations are contained in a letter to the Justice Department written by Michael Corey Jenkins’ attorney.
JACKSON, Miss. — Mississippi sheriff’s deputies already under investigation for possible civil rights violations after allegedly placing a gun in a Black man’s mouth and firing it are now also being accused of attempting to assault him and a second Black man with a sex toy during an interrogation, The Associated Press has learned.
In his Monday letter to Kristen Clarke, assistant attorney general for civil rights at the Justice Department, Shabazz called for an inquiry into a “pattern and practice of police misconduct and police brutality” in Rankin County. Neither the sheriff’s office nor an attorney representing the office responded to calls or an emailed list of questions about the allegations.
Both Jenkins and Parker also informed agents with the Mississippi Bureau of Investigation that deputies stripped the two naked, forced them to take a shower together, and attempted to use a sex toy on them during an hourslong interrogation, according to the letter, which was accompanied by a photo of the toy.
The AP previously requested body camera or dashcam footage from the night of the Jenkins raid. Jason Dare, an attorney for the sheriff’s department, said there was no record of either. Mississippi doesn’t require police officers to wear body cameras. A spokesperson for the Mississippi Bureau of Investigation declined to comment, citing an “open and ongoing investigation.”
