A former St. Louis police officer was sentenced to a year and day in prison Monday for his involvement in the pummeling of an undercover cop during a violent 2017 protest and for trying to cover it up, authorities said.
Dustin Boone, 37, was convicted of aiding and abetting the deprivation of civil rights under color of law against undercover police officer Luther Hall following a nine-day federal trial in June, the Justice Department said.
Officer Randy Hays was sentenced in July to more than four years in prison after pleading guilty in 2019 to using unreasonable and excessive force in the beating. Bailey Colletta received probation for lying to the FBI and a grand jury about the beating.
