The Cook County sheriff’s office is moving to fire two correctional officers accused of punching inmates in separate beatings, which officials say were captured on jail cameras.
On Dec. 29, 2021, Roberson placed handcuffs over his knuckles and hit a 29-year-old individual in custody multiple times in the jail’s receiving area, according to the statement. The detainee was treated for minor injuries.Both alleged beatings were spotted by staffers who were reviewing footage on jail cameras that were installed by the sheriff’s office over a decade ago.
Roberson turned himself in to investigators Wednesday morning, and a judge issued a $20,000 bond during his court appearance later in the day at the George N. Leighton Criminal Court Building.
