SANTA ANA, Calif. - The Orange County Sheriff’s Department has submitted a case to the DA’s office after a deputy is accused of assaulting an inmate earlier this month after they allegedly threw hot water on him, it was announced Wednesday.
The alleged incident happened on Thursday, April 1, the department said.
Sheriff’s officials said that day, a deputy working in the mental health unit served an inmate with a disciplinary notice for a jail rule violation. The inmate apparently refused to sign the notice through the cell door hatch and instead extended his arms through the door, and refused to bring his arms back inside the cell which prevented the deputy from securing the hatch.
