Cleveland corrections officer accused of punching handcuffed inmate

A Cleveland City Jail corrections officer is accused of punching a handcuffed inmate.

Jose Quinones, 42, is charged with assault and interfering with civil rights in the Feb. 6 incident. Both charges are first-degree misdemeanors.

Quinones was issued a summons to for a May 31 arraignment in Cleveland Municipal Court.

Quinones took Kosch from the Cleveland City Jail to the Cleveland House of Corrections. Quinones punched Kosch on the left side of the head while Kosch was handcuffed, according to court records.

A city spokesman said Tuesday that Quinones, who was hired by the city in May 2008, was placed on restrictive duty. He will still work at the jail but will have no direct contact with inmates.

A pre-disciplinary hearing has been scheduled with the city. Quinones will not be punished until the criminal case is completed.

No attorney is listed in court records. Quinones could not be reached for comment.

Kosch was arrested Feb. 6 after he failed to appear for court hearings in his 2013 drunken driving case.

Kosch said in a phone interview that he went to court and was taken to the city jail. He said he didn't have his blood-pressure medication with him and started to feel dizzy. He told a corrections officer who took him to see a nurse.

Officials told him he was being shipped to the Cleveland House of Corrections. Kosch said he was walking with Quinones and was upset about not getting medical treatment. He said he felt a dizzy-spell coming on and sat against a wall.

"I had an attitude with him but I didn't provoke him," Kosch said. "I was being demanding because I wasn't feeling good."

Kosch said Quinones insulted him, then handcuffed him. Quinones turned to walk away, then turned around and punched him on the left side of the head, Kosch said.

"My left ear was red and was ringing for a couple of days," Kosch said. "Other than that it was alright."

Kosch eventually pleaded no contest to drunken driving in the case. He was sentenced to take a drug and alcohol abuse class instead of serving jail time.
