incident. this dry. this came from the other when the dude like when he took my peanut butter off my tray, i clocked him too. [inaudible]. people keep trying me. i have to defend myself. trying to find out who the aggressor is here. you want to make sure you place disciplinary action on the right individual. and by talking to the individuals it was totally opposite stories on both sides. so we thought necessary to find witnesses to corroborate. the other gentlemen came over here to complain about mr. thompson talking on the phone too much. mr. thompson caught wind of that, came running down the steps. by the time i got out here mr. thompson was backing away towards the back. and mr. harris had blood all over himself. what did you see? it appeared the two of them were in an argument. he came running down the steps and started swinging on the other individual from what i could see. do you think thompson assaulted the other inmate? from what i could see, it appeared th
thompson s latest conflict with giovanni harris carried more serious consequences than others. not only did thompson receive ten days in disciplinary segregation but harris decided to file a criminal assault charge that could potentially extend thompson s stay. and the jail decided to place thompson in the long-term segregation unit known as ad seg to keep him away from population. i think admin seg is a great
place for someone like thompson, especially after he told us the story about him getting in a fight with someone ee previously over peanut butter. i don t think he can cope well with the general population. i glad they did. i have a lot more self-control than last time. if i would have stayed in population i probably would have had a fight because of who i am. i can t let nobody play me or disrespect me in no way shape or form. so yeah, i probably would have fought again probably. everything is a choice. that s what i been reading in this bible.
he the one swung on me. a straight assault. it s crazy. what were you doing? i was facing the door trying to ask the co. i m faced towards the door. talking to the c.o.s. and he came up and hit you? yeah. as the jail investigator, my responsibility is to find out all of the facts of what occurred. it come across the radio as a signal nine, which is an inmate fight. turned out it may not be. it may just be an assault here. thompson who s 20 days away from completing a six-month sentence for heroin possession is in segregation for a previous fight. but he says he was not the aggressor then or now. and that he had already hung up the phone and went upstairs when harris began insulting him. as soon as i came down the steps he swung. so i clocked him. that was it. i only clocked him one time. that was it. one punch. that s it.
and started swinging on the other individual from what i could see. do you think thompson assaulted the other inmate? from what i could see, it appeared that thompson was the aggressor. i ll get you that bag of ice. harris and thompson are placed in separate units until the investigation is complete and officers will determine what charges, if any, are filed. the difference between charges is in-house charges are disciplinary sanctions within the facility. opposed to criminal charges, which you have to take to the courts outside of the facility. if we can find out it was an assault that occurred by mr. thompson, then we ll push forward and file criminal charges against him. little shaky about it. if they are going to press charges or not. i don t know. you worried about that? i m, very worried about it. i don t need another case on me. because for what? me defending myself? alone thompson was more candid about how many times he struck harris, in what he calls self def
