A \u00a0prison guard correctional officer working for the U.S. Bureau of Prisons at the Victorville Federal Correctional Complex was arrested on federal civil rights and assault charges stemming from an incident in which she allegedly kicked a female inmate in the head, according to officials.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Flores is charged in an indictment that was returned by a federal grand jury on Sept. 7.<\/span><\/p>\n

The indictment accuses Flores of deprivation of rights under color of law, assault with a dangerous weapon with intent to do bodily harm, falsifying records and making false statements and concealing material facts in a matter within the jurisdiction of the U.S; Department of Justice.\"criminal_justice_jurisprudence<\/span>\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 The charges stem from an incident in which Flores allegedly assaulted an inmate at the women\u2019s prison camp in Victorville on June 2, 2013.<\/span><\/p>\n

During the evening count, when correctional officers ensure that all inmates are present, Flores initiated a physical altercation with the victim inmate.<\/span><\/p>\n

After the inmate\u2019s hands were placed in restraints behind her back, and she was held chest down on the floor, Flores allegedly kicked the inmate in the head.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 \u201cLaw enforcement officers have a duty to uphold the civil rights of all Americans, and, when those rights are violated, we must act decisively,\u201d said U.S. Attorney Eileen M. Decker. \u201cNo citizen should have to suffer the physical abuse by a law enforcement authority alleged in this case. Such abuse not only undermines the integrity of our justice system, but undermines the professional work being done by the vast majority correctional officers.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0Following the incident, Flores allegedly submitted both a written incident report and a videotaped oral report in which she described a verbal and physical altercation with the inmate. <\/span><\/p>\n

The indictment alleges that Flores falsely stated that the inmate had assaulted her, when it was actually Flores who assaulted the inmate by pushing the inmate into a wall, striking her and kicking her in the head.<\/span><\/p>\n

Defendants are presumed innocent until proven guilty.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
