“A former Memphis, Tenn., police officer who pleaded guilty to kidnapping and murdering a 30-year-old man while on duty has been sentenced to 38 years in prison. Patric Ferguson, 34, was sentenced Monday after pleading guilty in August to federal civil rights, firearms, kidnapping and obstruction charges for the fatal shooting of Robert Howard. … Prosecutors said Ferguson, who had been a police officer since October 2018, abducted Howard from his home at gunpoint and killed him in the back of his patrol car while on duty. He then disposed of the body in the Wolf River, with assistance from Joshua Rogers, who pleaded guilty May 8 to obstruction charges and is scheduled to be sentenced on Dec. 17.” (12/02/25)
