Elijah Christopher, 25, Julius Conner Jr., 25, and Noah Jenkins, 23, were arrested and booked into the East Baton Rouge Parish Prison. They are charged with malfeasance in office and simple battery. On June 5, Conner asked for a single cell housing an inmate to be opened. The inmate, who was already handcuffed in front of his body, reportedly exited the cell. According to the affidavit, Jenkins sprayed the inmate with Freeze +P, which is a brand of pepper spray, as he stood on the wall. According to the affidavit, the inmate was sprayed in the face, which distressed him, causing instant eye closure. Conner pushed the inmate back into his cell and sprayed him again. Christopher then placed the pepper spray in his pocket before he yelled at the inmate and hit him in the face and head repeatedly.
