Mississippi Cop Pleads Guilty to Forcing Prisoner to Drink His Own Urine
A former Mississippi police officer pleaded guilty Thursday to a federal misdemeanor charge after he filmed himself forcing a man in custody to drink his own urine.
Michael Christian Green, 26, was serving as a patrolman with the Pearl Police Department in December at the time of the offense. According to court documents first reported by The Daily Beast, Green ordered an arrestee to lick urine off the floor after the man had urinated in his holding cell.
Prosecutors said the man in custody—identified as “B.E.” in court papers—had been arrested on Dec. 23 following a disturbance call at a local Sam’s Club. While waiting to be processed at the Pearl Police Department, B.E. tried to tell Green he needed to use the bathroom before urinating at the back of his cell.
