A Kenton County jail corrections officer was suspended for violating use-of-force policies after slamming an inmate to the floor, resulting in a deep gash in the inmate's head.

Corrections Officer Daniel Nussbaum was suspended for 30 days on Nov. 12 and is expected to return to work Dec. 22, according to a disciplinary report in his personnel file. The Enquirer obtained the report after making a Kentucky Open Records Act request.

The report says Nussbaum violated two use-of-force policies and the code of conduct on Nov. 2 in an incident that started with inmate Steven Jordan's release from the jail.

Video from the incident shows Nussbaum grabbing Jordan and slamming him to the floor. Jordan, who is then handcuffed, yells out and blood pools from his head onto the floor.

Jordan went to the hospital after he was released. He was given multiple stitches.

An investigation after the incident showed that Nussbaum failed to call for backup once the situation got physical and that he used inappropriate force. His incident report also included inaccuracies, the investigation concluded.

Nussbaum said Jordan smacked his hand away, but the investigation showed that's not true. Nussbaum also incorrectly said Jordan "assumed an aggressive stance," "clenched his right fist" and "was defensively resistant and tried to pull away."

Nussbaum, who started working for the jail in 2008 and earns just under $40,000 a year, has been in trouble before. Over the years, he's been reprimanded for tardiness; for arguing with a police officer at the Covington FOP Lodge; and for interfering with a Dayton, Kentucky, police investigation that involved his brother.

In 2013, Nussbaum was suspended without pay for 10 days after a fist fight with another deputy.

In 2017, he was arrested in Florence for driving under the influence of alcohol. An evaluation from that same year notes he was "quick to go defensive and argue with others."

In June of this year, Nussbaum was given a written warning after he failed to turn on his body camera to record an incident with an inmate.
