Officer McGowan Gets Screwed by Feds

Jun 7th, 2010 By Bob Walsh Former Chino Correctional Officer Robert McGowan got ripped by the feds today to the tune of 51 months as a convicted federal felon. Back in 2002 he was alleged to have assaulted two inmates by allowing them to fall to the grounds as they were getting off a transport bus. The physical description of the officer alleged to have assaulted the inmates was a Hispanic or maybe Italian about 5-8. McGowan is a 6-3 Irishman. Both the Department and the D A said he was good. (And we all know that the Department will hang a cop happily if they can.) Then the feds went after him for deprivation of civil rights under color of authority and obstruction of justice for allegedly trying to cover up the assault he never did in the first place. This really and truly sucks.
