Twenty-four officers sued over alleged 2025 beating of inmate Chad Warren, with one officer charged and investigation ongoing.

Twenty-four Hamilton County corrections officers are named in a federal lawsuit alleging excessive force against inmate Chad Warren, who was reportedly beaten with a belt by officer Jordan Anderson in November 2025 at the Hamilton County Justice Center. The lawsuit claims Anderson violated Warren’s constitutional rights and that multiple officers failed to intervene, with some allegedly laughing. Anderson, 26, faces a misdemeanor assault charge, is on administrative leave, and has posted bond. A full investigation is ongoing, and a report is pending. The sheriff’s office has not commented. The case seeks compensatory and punitive damages.
