Charges against a man beaten at the Camden County jail have been dropped.
Footage released in November showed several corrections officials beating Jarrett Hobbs inside the Camden County Detention Center on Sept. 3
The encounter caught on camera resulted in 10 additional charges against Hobbs, who was initially brought in on drug and traffic allegations.All 13 charges against Hobbs have been dropped. In dropping the charges, a local prosecutor said that there is insufficient evidence that Hobbs committed assault, battery and obstruction at the jail and that the state isn’t prosecuting Hobbs’ drug and traffic charges in the interest of justice.
“This would not even be a conversation. It’d be Mr. Hobbs being charged with felonies in Camden County and possibly being subjected to years in the Department of Corrections,” Daniels said.
