URBANA – A former Champaign County jail employee pleaded guilty Monday to a felony and a misdemeanor in connection with an incident more than a year ago in which he inappropriately used a Taser gun on an inmate.
William Alan Myers, 37, of Pesotum, was sentenced to two years of probation after pleading guilty to felony disorderly conduct and misdemeanor battery. The charges were in connection with a Nov. 14, 2005, incident at the downtown Urbana jail during which Myers, a sergeant, inappropriately used a Taser gun on Ray Hsieh while he was alone with the inmate in a shower room.
