A Kentucky State Police trooper indicted in March for allegedly assaulting multiple people and committing perjury is now facing a federal lawsuit filed on behalf of a construction worker he is accused of macing and repeatedly tasing without reason.
Earlier this month, John Green was ordered to serve sixty days on home incarceration, undergo mental health treatment and pay $1,000 to Kentucky's Victim Compensation fund for violating his probation.
A federal grand jury in Louisville on Tuesday charged one former and two current Kentucky State Police Troopers with using unreasonable force for beating or tasing several people without reason over the past four years.
While the charges against Shayla Simpson were dropped and another employee pleaded guilty, Simpson claims she was denied unemployment benefits, forcing her to “cash in her retirement early in order to provide for her family,” according to the suit.
Thomas Czartorski was sentenced in a perjury case last month to three years diversion, meaning he will not serve any time in prison as long as he stays out of trouble.

Former Detective John Green has been involved in a domestic violence incident and refused to quit drinking in the months since he was sentenced to probation instead of prison in March, according to court records.
Former Detective John Green was sentenced earlier this month to one year incarceration that will be probated for five years as long as he follows several conditions, including staying out of trouble and not owning a firearm.
The case was immediately botched by police when the witness' statement was lost, a detective recorded over surveillance video of the shooting with a David Letterman episode and the wrong man was arrested.
Percy Phillips was charged with the murder in 2009, immediately after Edwin Chandler was exonerated. The case has been pending ever since.
Former officer John Green testified there was surveillance video showing Shayla Simpson stole money from a safe while working at McDonalds even though the evidence clearly showed she didn't.
