Florida deputy fired and charged with battery after kicking inmate who tossed a cookie to a bird.
The inmate, 31-year-old Mario Christo, was serving a 364-day sentence on charges of disorderly conduct and resisting arrest at the Pinellas County jail when the incident occurred, Pinellas County Sheriff Bob Gualtieri told reporters Tuesday in a news conference.
He added that it is against jail policies and procedures to issue any form of physical labor or physical punishment to inmates. Surveillance video shows three inmates wearing yellow uniforms and hairnets as they transfer waste from multiple trash receptacles into a dumpster. After one of the inmates tosses the cookie to the bird, he attempts to walk away from the area, but is stopped by a deputy, who then points to the ground.
Moran was"immediately terminated." He was arrested Tuesday morning and charged with simple battery for kicking Christo, Gualtieri said. The other deputy, Matthew O'Neill, is currently under an internal investigation for failing to report the incident.Moran, 57, was released from jail Tuesday afternoon on $500 cash bond, online jail records show.
Christo was considered a cooperative inmate, Gualtieri said, adding that he otherwise wouldn't have been permitted to participate in the worker's release program, which allows inmates to work time off of their sentences.
