2 deputies charged in inmate fight
Photos at link confirms the two deputies are black as the ace of spades.
Two Hinds County deputies were arrested Friday for allegedly allowing an inmate to beat another in the face with a broom handle at the detention center in Raymond.
"This type of behavior is not something that will be tolerated in this department," Hinds County Sheriff Malcolm McMillin said.
Deputies Stanley Shaw, 29, of Jackson, and Robert Jenkins, 26, of Ridgeland, were fired last week and each has been charged with conspiracy to commit aggravate assault. Their bond was set at $50,000. Shaw posted his; Jenkins remained in jail Friday night.
Inmate Adrian Hardy</
b> assaulted Thomas Poole in Poole's cell while Shaw and Jenkins were i
n the main control room on June 16, according to a report from investigator Trey Brister. Two other deputies, Edrick Brown and Ralph Stewart, were exiting another unit when they saw Hardy beating Poole, Brister wrote in the report.
"Deputy Brown overheard Deputies Shaw and Jenkins laughing and telling that they hadn't seen anything that occurred during the beating," Brister said.
The beating was severe enough for Poole to need reconstructive facial surgery but he declined surgery at a hospital, McMillin said. He was treated by staff when he returned to the jail, McMillin said.
Shaw had been a deputy since August 2000, McMillin said. Jenkins came to the department in January 2004.
If convicted, each faces a maximum $5,000 fine or five years in prison, or both.
Poole's injuries prompted an internal investigation that resulted in th
e firings, and a criminal investigation led to the deputies' arrests Friday, McMillin said.
McMillin said he didn't know what prompted the a
ssault but he noted Poole was a hostile inmate and "doesn't have any friends there...among the staff or the inmates." "That is not an excuse for what happened," McMillin added.
Poole was in jail on charges of simple assault on a law enforcement officer and resisting arrest. He was released Wednesday, according to information Deputy Neil Bass. No other information was available.
Adrian Hardy was in jail on violation of probation and a false pretense charge. McMillin did not know if or when Hardy would face charges in the beating.
Shaw and Jenkins are two of more than 200 jailers at the detention center, which houses 594 inmates.
McMillin's disclosure at an afternoon news conference is not the first time he has announced improprieties at the Raymond jail. In 2003, he fired a jailer and three longt
ime supervisors for allowing contraband inside the jail. No criminal charges were filed.
