Shpiller specifically targeted individuals with known mental health conditions

Shpiller, who joined the jail as a corrections officer in November 2022, has not been charged but is currently on paid leave pending the outcome of an internal investigation.

When asked for a comment, Shpiller declined to respond. Jail spokesperson Candace Hopkins also refrained from commenting, citing the ongoing investigation by jail authorities.

In statements to officials, inmates alleged that Shpiller specifically targeted individuals with known mental health conditions. The police report further states that Shpiller may have abused his position by using pepper spray on one inmate, reportedly directing the spray through the food slot while the inmate was alone and unclothed in his cell.

According to the sheriff’s office report, the reported incidents took place in July. Since then, officials have continued to investigate the matter, and security footage remains under review as part of the jail’s internal inquiry.
