A Cuyahoga County jail supervisor charged with a second-degree felony was suspended 15 days for pepper-spraying an inmate while she was strapped to a restraint chair.

The terms of Idris-Farid Clark’s suspension came after the county released documents and the video in his disciplinary case as part of a claim filed against the county in the Ohio Court of Claims.

The county spent months refusing to release the video and disciplinary records and did so after the start of mediation between the county and cleveland.com.

Glass’ attorney, Subodh Chandra, called the video a “torture scene” in a statement to cleveland.com.

“They wanted to hurt her,” Chandra said.

“This appeared to be a ritual of torture— something the officers were accustomed to doing and had practiced many times,” Chandra’s statement said.

County officials also twice released Clark’s personnel file to cleveland.com while withholding the documents of his disciplinary case, once in February and again on March 15.

A spokeswoman for the county and spokesman for the sheriff’s office have also repeatedly not answered questions or said they did not know whether Clark was disciplined in the case.

The documents released to cleveland.com say the county disciplined Clark for excessive use of force and for failing to turn his body camera on during the incident.

Sheriff spokesman John O’Brien said Wednesday he didn’t know why the disciplinary case wasn’t included in the files he released. Messages left Wednesday with Cuyahoga County Director of Communications Eliza Wing were not returned.

Clark is one of 10 jail employees charged in a variety of cases investigated by the Ohio Attorney General’s Office, including five other officers charged in connection with three attacks on inmates.

Clark pleaded not guilty to felonious assault, and misdemeanor charges of interfering with civil rights and unlawful restraint.

Officer Robert Marsh is charged with assault, interfering with civil rights and unlawful restraint, all misdemeanors, in connection with the same incident. He has also pleaded not guilty. The county on Wednesday released Marsh’s discipline in the case— a three-day suspension.

Both were placed on unpaid leave after their indictments on April 8.

The video shows what happened during the July 16, 2018 incident with Chantelle Glass.

Glass was arrested and brought to the jail after a heated argument with her sister. She was never charged in the case, but was being held in the jail because she failed to show up for court for an old traffic ticket.

In a previous interview, Glass said she got mad when officers refused to allow her to make a phone call to let someone know she was in the jail. That is backed up what officers wrote in their documentation of the incident released late Tuesday.

I wonder why they put her in the chair to start with.

Because she's known to be so cooperative?

She seemed compliant until she realized they were going to buckle her into that chair.

She tried to kick the officer when they were trying to restrain her legs. Why is this not mentioned?

She must have done something similar that prompted her to be restrained in the first place.

Typical liberal bullshit, they see what they want to see.

She 'seemed'...

Generally, cons 'seem'...

She reacted when she realized that they were on to her BS and that she was entering the CONSEQUENCES phase.
