Court records show that a U.S. District Court judge sentenced Ryan Biegel to a year and four months in prison Thursday. Biegel pleaded guilty earlier this year to violating the due process rights of detainee Jarrett Hobbs by using unreasonable force. Security camera video from the Camden County jail recorded deputies beating Hobbs after was booked for traffic violations and drug possession charges in September 2022. Biegel still faces state charges in the beating along with and two other ex-deputies.
