Despite a policy of handcuffing inmates before entering their cells, Tavoris Bottley stormed in and began to pummel the inmate, striking him with a closed fist three times.
The guilty plea included only the first count, which carries a maximum penalty of 10 years' imprisonment. Bottley's lawyer did not respond to a request for comment.
Just prior to the assault, Bottley was escorting A.A. to the office of his supervisor, Krystal Ford, to interview him about alcohol use after Ford suspected A.A."was under the influence of an unknown substance," court documents recount.Prosecutors said that during the entire period leading up to the assault, A.A. posed no threat and did nothing to suggest he would harm Bottley, Ford or other prison employees.
After the argument, Bottley and Ford took A.A. to the nurse's station to conduct an alcohol use test, where a nurse placed him alone in a medical holding cell which was then locked. Apparently out of frustration, A.A. threw his dinner tray at the door. Despite a policy of handcuffing inmates before entering their cells, Bottley stormed in and began to pummel A.A., striking him with a closed fist and causing A.A. to fall onto the cell bed. Bottley then punched A.A. twice more"because he was angry that the inmate had talked back to the officers and had thrown the food tray" and because he wanted to"teach A.A. a lesson."A.A. sustained lacerations and swelling from the incident.
