Press conference: Pinellas corrections sergeant arrested for assaulting inmate

A former sergeant in the Pinellas County Department of Detention and Corrections has been arrested after the sheriff says he was caught lying about beating an inmate. Earlier this month, Sheriff Bob Gualtieri says, Sgt. Patrick Knight shoved, slapped, and punched a handcuffed inmate who was being disruptive, then told his supervisors that some of the man’s injuries were the result of falling in a cell.
