"The six former correctional officers Mr. Holdren, 39; Cory Snyder, 29; Johnathan Walters, 35; Jacob Boothe, 25; Ashley Toney, 23; and Chad Lester, 33, a former lieutenant were each charged with conspiring to cover up the use of unlawful force by omitting material information, and they were individually charged with various counts of giving false and misleading information to investigators, federal prosecutors said in a statement on Thursday."
"According to the indictment, one of the officers, Mark Holdren, told the other officers to lie to investigators and say that Mr. Burks had suffered a heart attack and that he had been fighting with officers. He also told officers to avoid telling investigators that he and other officers had assaulted Mr. Burks, prosecutors said."
