Tables Turn on Former Bell County Jailer A man recently employed with the Bell County Sheriff's Department has been arrested for reportedly using excessive force against an inmate. According to a report from our news partners at KWTX, Clinton Stovall was arrested on January 7 after investigators say he used excessive force against an inmate on December 28. During the pre-investigation, Stovall had been placed on administrative leave. The Bell County District Attorney’s Office is charging Stovall with assault/bodily injury after the Bell County Sheriff’s Department Criminal Investigations Division and Texas Rangers concluded their investigation. An arrest warrant was issued for Stovall, and he was arrested at the Sheriff's department after arriving for a meeting with investigators. Following Stovall's arrest, he was "separated from employment with the Bell county Sheriff’s Department effective immediately,” sheriff’s Lt. Bob Reinhard said in a press release.
