MUNCIE — The Muncie Police Merit Commission fired a Muncie Police officer who admitted to allegations of excessive force.
Following Winkle entering into the plea agreement in which he acknowledged committing multiple felonies, the Muncie Police Department and the Muncie Police Merit Commission met on November 17 in an executive session to discuss the situation. The maximum penalty for the deprivation-of-rights offenses is 10 years prison and the maximum penalty for false report offenses is 20 years of imprisonment, according to the U.S. Attorney’s Office.The plea agreement does not detail Winkle’s sentence, but federal prosecutors have agreed to recommend a sentence at the low end of the advisory sentencing guidelines range.Current Muncie police officer Corey Posey, who was federally charged with false reporting will get his own trial, a judge ruled.
Posey omitted from the report his colleague, Officer Chase Winkle, struck Gannom’s head and neck with his knee and also omitted that Winkle caused Gannom’s injuries, the indictment read. WRTV Investigates has requested body camera footage of this 2018 incident several times, but the police department has yet to provide it.
