March 7, 2010: Sheriff's sargeant sentenced for abusing prisoner

Talk about it

MILWAUKEE - Punching a handcuffed suspect in the face several times earns former Milwaukee County Sergeant Scott Krause 18 months in prison.

Prosecutors played a video recording of the attack. At the time, Ray Calderon was repeatedly tapping and kicking the patrol car window, cursing deputies and asking to use the bathroom.

His attorney says the former deputy has been diagnosed with post-traumatic stress disorder after two tours of Army combat duty. He says Krause doesn't remember the attack and was "flabbergasted" when he saw the video. Calderon told the judge he suffered eye and back injuries and is now paranoid about law enforcement officers and what they might do to him.
