(CBS DETROIT) - A former Michigan corrections officer is sentenced to one year of probation for the assault of an inmate in Isabella County Jail, the state Attorney General's office announced.

Christopher Cluley, 48, of Mount Pleasant, pleaded no contest to aggravated assault and willful negligent of duty. As part of his plea agreement, Cluley signed an affidavit of decertification and an agreement not to recertify as a corrections officer. He must also go through an anger management program.

State officials said in April 2020, Cluley grabbed the inmate and pushed him into the cell door before pushing him into the wall and then to the ground. An X-ray showed the inmate suffered a fractured left knee.
