Cook County Sheriff's correctional officer Reginald Roberson is accused of beating an inmate after locking a pair of handcuffs over his knucklesCook County prosecutors said, on Dec. 29, 2021, a 29-year-old inmate was in the bullpen at the jail, when he requested a medical evaluation, which Roberson denied.
When the victim stepped out of the bullpen and started walking toward the medical facility, Robreson grabbed his shirt and shoved him back in the bullpen and closed the door. Roberson then grabbed a pair of handcuffs, slid them over his right hand, and locked them in place around his knuckles. After the inmate slid open the bullpen door and tried to step through to ask when he would be taken back to his wing, Roberson went into the bullpen, and the inmate raised his hands to surrender, before Roberson punched him three times in the face with the handcuffs wrapped around his knuckles, prosecutors said.The inmate suffered a cut on his ear and a cut under his left eye, which required stitches.
He turned himself in on Wednesday ahead of his first court appearance, and later had his bond set at $20,000.The Cook County Sheriff's office is seeking to have him fired. He has been with the sheriff's office since March of 1999.
