A Cleveland, Ohio woman request to let someone know she was in jail somehow escalated into a brutal attack by several Cuyahoga County Jail officers.

Chantelle Glass was arrested last summer and taken to Cuyahoga jail, when officers strapped her to a restraint chair, punched her, and unloaded half a can of pepper spray into her face. Glass who suffers from asthma and could hardly breathe, said she thought the ordeal might kill her. Those officers are now facing charges.

“That day, I thought I was going to die,” Glass told Cleveland.com, recalling how the guards assaulted the chair as she sat in a small, dark room for nearly two hours.

“I sat in that cell I prayed to God that I wouldn’t die because I couldn’t breathe,” Glass added. “I prayed that I wouldn’t die there.”

Cpl. Idris-Farid Clark and Officer Robert Marsh were among the five jail officers indicted last week. In the violent attack against Glass both men are accused of strapping down and assaulting the mother of three.

According to Cleveland.com, Clark is charged with is charged with second-degree felony assault and misdemeanor counts of assault, interfering with civil rights and unlawful restraint while Clark faces misdemeanor charges of assault, interfering with civil rights and unlawful restraint.

Marsh was arrested by police Monday and was scheduled for arraignment Tuesday, along with two other corrections officers. Clark turned himself in Thursday and was released from the same jail at which he works on a $5,000 bond.
