BIRMINGHAM, Ala. (WIAT) — Another Walker County deputy is set to plead guilty in connection to the death of Anthony Mitchell in 2023.

According to court documents, Carl Carpenter has entered into a plea agreement on two counts of depravation of rights.

According to the indictment, Carpenter allegedly stomped on Mitchell’s genitals while he was handcuffed on the ground following his arrest. Additionally, the grand jury claimed that both Carpenter and James Handley reportedly rammed Mitchell’s legs into the exterior of their patrol car and kicked him.

Carpenter is among many current and former employees at the sheriff’s office and jail charged in the death of Anthony “Tony” Mitchell. Carpenter initially entered a not guilty plea on March 20.
