An Anne Arundel jury late Tuesday acquitted five corrections officers charged with second-degree assault against an inmate at the former Maryland House of Correction.

Officers Manuel Williams, Naron Dyer, Antoine Fordham, Berkley Ghee and Keith Randolph had been accused of using excessive force against Bradford Matthews, who resisted during a strip search in July 2006.
