Hall County and other parties have agreed to pay $55,000 to settle a lawsuit against a former Sheriff’s Office deputy accused of punching a handcuffed inmate on the head in September 2012. Jailer Dustin Charlton pleaded guilty last August to two counts of misdemeanor simple battery and one count of violation of oath stemming from the incident. He was placed on five years probation and prohibited from seeking employment in law enforcement, according to Northeastern Judicial Circuit District Attorney Lee Darragh.
