Inmate Attacked For Insulting Michael Jackson
MERCED (CBS13) ―
A Merced County inmate is suffering from a broken jaw after insulting recently deceased King of Pop Michael Jackson.
Merced County deputies say 50-year-old inmate Jeffrey Salery attacked another inmate on Wednesday night after he "dissed" Michael Jackson. Salery admitted to a correctional officer that he hit his fellow inmate because "he disrespected Michael Jackson."
The 21-year-old who was attacked is being treated at a Modesto area hospital for a broken jaw. What exactly the 21-year-old said is still unclear and the case is being investigated.
Salery was in custody on a narcotics charge. He will now have battery with great bodily injury charges added.
