ELYRIA, Ohio — A corrections officer is facing an assault charge after he is allegedly caught on surveillance video beating an 18-year-old inmate at the Lorain County Corrections Facility.
The video, released by the Lorain County Sheriff’s Office, shows the officer, identified as Marlon Taylor, 48, attacking and repeatedly punching inmate Jordan Sand, 18.
“He hit me 14 times,” Sand said.
The video shows the two arguing, and then the officer throws Sand against the wall, where he punches him several times before Sand falls to the floor. The officer then continues to punch Sand as he is on the ground, until other officers intervene.
