Prosecutors said Terry Akers, Danny Kiskadden, Chad Stanforth and Kiara Williams were found guilty after investigators said they kept an inmate in a holding cell with no water or toilet to use for two days. Advertisement Investigators said they were responsible for Adams County inmates in April, when the inmate involved was moved into the cell for spitting on an officer. Prosecutors said Williams lied on jail logs about the inmate being checked on, and other officers then found the inmate unresponsive and covered in waste two days later. On Tuesday, all four received one year of probation and would be required to spend 33 days in jail if they violate the terms of probation. The defendants were also ordered to perform 33 hours of community service and will each have to pay a fine.
