Chester County Sheriff George Alexander Underwood faces up to 51 years in jail over conspiracy charges involving two other members of his department.
A South Carolina sheriff and two of his department's top law enforcement agents have been charged over allegations they attempted to cover-up an illegal arrest and then lied to the FBI about it.
According to U.S. Attorney Sherri A. Lydon, Underwood asked Simpson to retreat from his yard and back to his porch while officers dealt with the accident. After Simpson refused and continued to live-stream the incident from the yard, Underwood returned around 25 minutes later and attempted to grab Simpson and take his cellphone off him.
After Sprouse retrieved the cellphone from the home without consent, he delivered it to a Sheriff’s deputy in charge of evidence collection. In addition, Underwood faces charges of lying to the FBI about not knowing that the cellphone had been removed and that he only saw the footage Simpson broadcast about one week after the incident when in fact he viewed it the same day, prosecutors said.
If convicted, Underwood faces up to 51 years in jail, Sprouse faces 70 years and Neal could spend a maximum of 35 years behind bars.
