King Allah JamesA man who was brought to jail on probation violation charges in February has racked up at least seven assaults involving deputies inside the jail.
On Tuesday, his bond was lowered somewhat, from more than $200,000 to less than $90,000.
During the bond hearing, King Allah James, 22, testified that he was the victim of abuse in the Hamilton County Jail and that many of the charges against him were false.
But three deputies testified that, on multiple occasions James has bit, hit, spit on and struggled with officers in the court, jail and at Erlanger hospital.
James’ mother, Tracy Robinson, told local media that her son was intimidated and provoked by corrections officers while in the jail. She said she has filed complaints with the sheriff’s office, which manages the jail.
