An Illinois state trooper has been sentenced to one year of court supervision for a roadside strip search. The incident was captured on his patrol car's dashboard camera.
Corey Alberson of Swansea was convicted last month of misdemeanor aggravated assault, not the more serious felony aggravated battery charge.
Alberson pulled down a motorist's pants and examined the man's buttocks and genitals with a flashlight during the April 2014 traffic stop. Alberson and another trooper testified they stopped the man based on a tip about a possible drug delivery. No drugs were found.
The search came to light during a review of dash-cam videos. Alberson was placed on unpaid leave when charged.
