STROUDSBURG, Pa. — A Monroe County Correctional Facility inmate attacked and bloodied a corrections officer, who needed medical attention afterward, state police said.
Kishime A. McCleod-Summerville, 22, of East Stroudsburg, is charged with aggravated assault, simple assault and assault by a prisoner.
At the time of the assault, McCleod-Summerville was in county jail custody, in lieu of $25,000 bail, awaiting a district hearing on trespassing, burglary and theft charges, court records show. His bail has been set at $50,000 in this assault case, for which he is now awaiting a separate district court hearing.
A Feb. 12 surveillance video of the assault shows McCleod-Summerville exiting the jail shower “at a high rate of speed,” lunging at the corrections officer, grabbing him and then punching him multiple times, an affidavit states. The video shows several other corrections officers then rushing over to separate McCleod-Summerville from the victim, who at that point was on the floor and in a choke hold being applied by McLeod-Summerville.
After COs finally separated the two, the victim got up from the floor with a bloody face and shirt, the video shows. He was seen by jail medical staff and then sent to Pocono Medical Center for further attention.
One of the other COs suffered a fractured hand and likewise was sent to PMC for attention, the affidavit states. McCleod-Summerville was not injured.
