Wilson Police Department officers Joshua Taylor, 25, and Brandon Dingman, 34, were charged in connection with the death of 28-year-old Jared Lakey, the Oklahoma State Bureau of Investigation (OSBI) announced Thursday.

The officers turned themselves in to the Carter County Sheriff’s Office. They were released on $250,000 bonds on Thursday.

If convicted, they could face sentences of 10 years to life in prison.
