The Richland County Sheriff’s Department is investigating multiple assaults that occurred at Alvin S. Glenn Detention Center.
On Sept. 14, deputies were called to a local hospital for reports of three separate detainees being assaulted in their dorms. The first detainee reported that during the overnight hours, another detainee cut him with a sharp object. The second detainee also reported that during the overnight hours, an unknown suspect assaulted him with a sharp object. The third detainee reported that another detainee assaulted him with a mop during the overnight hours. All three victims had lacerations to their bodies.
Investigators are working to determine the circumstances that lead to the three separate incidents. At this time, it is unknown if these incidents are connected. This is an ongoing investigation, and more details will be released as they become available.
