A more than two-decade employee of the U.S. Bureau of Prisons is facing up to 10 years in prison on charges that he recklessly chased a civilian vehicle for about five miles from the federal jail in Brooklyn where he worked, shot multiple times at the vehicle and struck and injured a passenger in the back seat.

Leon Wilson, a 49-year-old Bronxite who worked as a correction officer at the Metropolitan Detention Center in Sunset Park, was taken into federal custody on Sunday for allegedly depriving the passenger of his civil rights while on duty last September, the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Eastern District of New York announced on Monday. He was scheduled to be arraigned later in the day.
