The family of a man who died in custody at the Richland County Jail say they’re one step closer to answers. Wednesday, a former corrections officer was arraigned on charges related to the death.
“It’s been a long three years. We didn’t know if it would ever come to this,” said Toni Mould, the mother of Alex Rios.
A female corrections officer is heard calling for the officers to use their tasers. Rios is tased twice and punched in the head.About 2 minutes and 45 seconds into the recording, another officer, who has his right foot on Rios’ shoulder, lifts his right foot, putting his entire body weight on Rios’ back for seven seconds.
The family tells News 5 they hope a jury finds the evidence laid out in the video and holds Cooper accountable for what they say is his role in Rios’ death. He declined to say whether other corrections officers involved in the September 2019 incident could also face charges.
