PCSO detectives have charged South County Jail inmate Noel Torres, DOB 09/14/86 (previously from Orlando), with one count of Aggravated Battery (F1), after he attacked another inmate.


According to the affidavit on Sunday, July 5, 2020, the victim was a trustee assisting with the collection of food trays from inmates following lunch at the South County Jail. As the deputy unlocked and opened inmate Torres’s cell to collect the food tray, Torres rushed past the deputy and struck the victim twice in the face with his hands. This caused the victim to fall backward where his head struck the concrete floor. The deputy immediately locked Torres in his cell and summoned medical help for the victim.


The victim was transported to an area hospital where he is in critical condition.During the investigation, it was learned that Torres and the victim had issues with each other over Torres’s allegation that the victim took food items from the trays.
