A sheriff is being retried on an assault charge for kicking a shackled detainee twice in the groin

A jury was selected on Monday and the trial began in the afternoon in the case of Franklin County Sheriff John Grismore. After the mistrial, Grismore said he was disappointed that the jury did not acquit him. Grismore was elected sheriff in November 2022, a few months after he was fired from his position as a captain in the sheriff’s department after video surfaced of him kicking the shackled detainee.
