The Daily Beast: “Three Camden County, Georgia, cops were charged with battery and violating their oath of office on Tuesday after an explosive video unveiled the vicious beating of a Black jail inmate named Jarrett Hobbs.
Camden County Corporal Correction Officer Mason Garrick and Camden County Deputies Ryan Biegel and Braxton Massey were arrested and jailed at the same facility where they used to work—the Camden County Safety Complex. Legal representatives of the three men could not be immediately identified.
Last week, three videos were released showing the brutal beating of Hobbs, 41, by Camden County Sheriff’s Office employees. In September, Hobbs was booked into the jail, where he was placed in an isolation cell, after being arrested for speeding, driving with a suspended license and possession of a controlled substance, according to local news outlet CBS 47.
The first two videos released by Hobbs’ legal team showed five people enter a cell where he was sitting, grab his face and neck, and start raining down blows before dragging him outside to continue. Outside the cell, at least one man appeared to punch Hobbs while also kicking him on the floor.”
