A deputy at the Ascension Parish jail was fired and booked into jail Friday on a count of simple battery of an inmate after a fight with the prisoner, the Sheriff's Office said in a Facebook post that included a prison surveillance video of the altercation.

Two high-ranking prison officials, the warden and the lieutenant of jail security, resigned voluntarily after expressing disagreement with their supervisors on jail protocols and procedures, the Sheriff's Office said.

The incident happened Tuesday, when the now former deputy, Livingston Alfred, 50, struck a 25-year old male inmate during a search for contraband, the Sheriff's Office said.

The inmate was treated at a hospital for minor injuries.

The deputy, Alfred, received disciplinary sanction and was placed on leave without pay pending an investigation that ended Friday with the deputy being terminated and booked into the Ascension Parish jail.

Alfred, a staff sergeant, joined the Sheriff's Office in March 2009.

So the Deputy is now booked into the same jail he worked at? I bet all the prisoners are gonna love him. He’ll be dead in days unless they put him in protective custody.

The one thing you don’t see or can’t hear is what the inmate may have said to the deputy.
