Under the Ohio Revised Code, Chapter 2921 - Section 45:

(A) No public servant, under color of his office, employment, or authority, shall knowingly deprive, or conspire or attempt to deprive any person of a constitutional or statutory right.

(B) Whoever violates this section is guilty of interfering with civil rights, a misdemeanor of the first degree.

So yes, in Ohio it's a first degree misdemeanor, punishable by 180 days in jail and/or a $1000 fine. Not to mention the civil liabilities that are warranted by civil rights violations.
