CLEVELAND, Ohio — A Cuyahoga County Jail officer who faces criminal charges that accuse of of punching an inmate strapped to a restraint chair was previously disciplined for a similar incident in 2012, according to county records.

Officer Robert Marsh received a one-day suspension for the Nov. 12, 2012, according to his disciplinary file released Thursday by the county in response to a public record’s request.

The county failed to include additional documentation on the case that led to his one-day suspension in response to the records request.

The discipline letter said that Marsh used unnecessary force against an inmate as he tried to place the unnamed inmate in a restraint chair.

The county handed down a three-day suspension to Marsh for his role in most recent July 16, 2018 attack on a restrained inmate. That incident was captured by surveillance video and is now the subject of a criminal indictment.

Marsh is charged with assault, interfering with civil rights and unlawful restraint, all misdemeanors. His supervisor, Idris-Farid Clark, is also charged with felonious assault and other charges.

Clark was suspended 15 days in the most recent attack. Both were disciplined in September, months before the Ohio Attorney General’s Office charged both officers. After the indictments, both were suspended without pay until the criminal case is resolved.

Video released to clevleand.com after a public records dispute in the Ohio Court of Claims shows Marsh slugged inmate Chantelle Glass in the head with an open-handed punch after he strapped her in a restraint chair.

Clark unleashed pepper-spray in Glass’s face from about six-inches away and for about six seconds, the video shows.

Glass’s attorney, Subodh Chandra, previously called the video a “torture scene.”

Clark and Marsh are among 11 jail officers and officials charged in the attorney general’s criminal investigation into the jail.

Marsh is also a former member of the jail’s maligned Special Response Team, whose members have been accused of using excessive force on inmates, threatening inmates interviewing with federal investigators and selling drugs to inmates, including one who survived an overdose on the officer’s drugs, according to court records.

Out-going Sheriff Cliff Pinkney once called the SRT team, known as the Men in Black because of their paramilitary gear, the “Goon Squad.”
