A federal judge sentenced a former San Luis Obispo County sheriff’s deputy today to seven months in federal prison for abusing a county jail inmate by dragging the victim by her hair on the ground from one cell and then throwing her into another jail cell.
From Jan. 2017 through Dec. 2018, Fischer worked as a SLO County Sheriff’s Office senior correctional deputy. However, the victim did not throw her shirt on the ground after removing it outside the cell, she was not flailing her arms around as she re-entered her cell, but instead her arms were by her side and then near her bare chest when Fischer assaulted her.
For years, the SLO County Jail has been dogged with allegations of civil rights abuses against inmates and of failures to follow state and federal rules and regulations.
