" COLUMBIA, SC (WMBF)-

...A second former Greenville Police officer has pleaded guilty to abusing homeless people, and will be sentenced at a later date.

Jeremiah Carlton Milliman, 29, pleaded guilty Wednesday in federal court to two counts of deprivation of rights under color of law.

Milliman admitted in court that in September 2009, he assaulted homeless individuals whom he and other officers had just arrested, handcuffed and secured in a patrol car.

In the first incident, Milliman entered the backseat of the patrol car where the victim was sitting alone and struck him in the face with his forearm after the man yelled out, busting the man's lip.

In the second incident, Milliman entered the backseat of the patrol car where a deaf-mute homeless individual was handcuffed. Milliman poked the man with an ink pen, making the man audible a sound that Milliman found amusing. He poked him again so that nearby officers would hear the sound. Milliman then poured a hand sanitizing liquid on the man's head. Another officer later wiped the liquid off the man's head before he was transported to jail.

Milliman is the second Greenville police officer to plead guilty in the case, which arose after other officers in the Greenville Police Department alerted supervisors last year that a small group of officers were engaged in abusive and humiliating conduct towards the city's homeless population.

Last month Matthew Scott Jowers pleaded guilty to one count of deprivation of rights under color of law, admitting that he slammed a homeless arrestee into a patrol car with such force that he dented the car."
