HENRY COUNTY, Ind. — In an eight-month span, there were two shootings inside the Henry County Jail. Both involved so-called “less lethal” ammunition fired at inmates. However, while a fired jail guard faces a federal felony count, the Sheriff has not been charged. The US Attorney’s Office for the Southern District of Indiana announced last week that 27-year-old Curtis Doughty is charged with a single count of Deprivation of Rights Under the Color of Law. Federal Court records show Doughty has signed a plea agreement. At sentencing, he faces up to ten years in prison. The criminal charge is in connection to the shooting of inmate Matthew Flick inside the Henry County Jail. In February, there was a search for contraband inside the jail. Flick and other jail detainees were ordered into a holding area while cells were searched. Each was patted down and instructed to sit on the floor facing a wall. In an interview while still in jail, Flick recalled to FOX59/CBS4 Doughty yelling at him, “He said, ‘Face the effing wall.’ I said, ‘I’m facing the wall.’ And he shot me. I still got the bruise on my back.” The unprovoked incident was recorded on security cameras. After supervisors reviewed the shooting, Doughty was sent home. The following morning his employment at the jail was terminated. Days later, Henry County Prosecutor Michael Mahoney filed a state battery charge against Doughty. The federal charge for Doughty was brought on Oct. 15. But there have been no charges of any kind for a July 2023 shooting of an inmate by Henry County Sheriff John Sproles. Sproles appeared in the jail wearing a helmet and carrying a beanbag shotgun at the end of a frustrating 45 minutes for several jail guards. They had repeatedly asked Marquette Neal to return to his cell. Neal refused again and again until he eventually entered a cell in the jail holding area. Once inside, Neal, after demanding his property be retrieved from his assigned cell, began kicking the cell door. On surveillance video, Sheriff Sproles is heard telling Neal, “Hey. You kick the door again and you’re going to get some rounds. Okay?” Neal did not stop. A slot in the cell door was opened, and from a distance of approximately two feet, Sproles fired a bean bag round into the back of Neal’s legs. Sproles again warned, “You kick it again and you’re gonna get another one.” Over a span of 36 seconds, Sproles would fire four times. After each one, Neal would resume kicking the cell door. After the last round, Sproles said, “Alright. We got some more rounds… cuz’ we’ll go all night.” At that point, there were wounds to the area behind both of Neal’s knees. They were serious enough for Neal to be transported to an area hospital for treatment. In a March interview, Sproles explained he intervened to maintain order and to prevent Neal from injuring himself. "I can’t let him shatter his ankle or splinter his shin bone on that door or we are most certainly going to get sued," he said. Months later, Neal filed a suit against Sproles and the Henry County Sheriff’s Office. During our interview, Sheriff Sproles also disclosed, “The FBI was investigating me.“ Sproles even forwarded to us an email apparently from Special Agent Brian Monahan informing the Sheriff that after a review of their investigation, “the US Attorney’s Office… decided not to pursue federal charges.” FOX59/CBS4 contacted the Indianapolis FBI seeking to verify the email came from one of their agents, but a spokesperson declined to comment. Additionally, FOX59/CBS4 sought an explanation from U.S. Attorney Zachary Myers why one jailhouse shooting of an inmate resulted in a federal charge, while the other did not. A spokesperson replied the office does not confirm or deny the existence of investigations that do not result in an arrest or indictment.
