Quote:A former officer with the Atlanta Police Department will spend five years in jail after a jury convicted him of using unreasonable force to arrest a Walmart customer he thought had stolen a single tomato from the store, WSB-TV reported.
Prosecutors say former Atlanta Police Department Sergeant Trevor King broke two bones in 53-year-old Tyrone Carnegay's leg after accusing him of stealing a tomato from an Atlanta Walmart in October of 2014.
Prosecutors say Carnegay had the receipt for the tomato in his pocket and that the officer filed a false police report alleging Carnegay assaulted him.
