On February 7th, 2026, body-camera footage was publicly released showing a violent assault on corrections officers inside Trumbull Correctional Institution in Ohio.
The video shows inmate Joseph Hunter attacking staff during an internal confrontation, including knocking a female correctional officer to the ground and stomping on her face.
The assault itself took place on March 14th, 2025, while Hunter was already incarcerated at TCI. Authorities said the officer was performing her assigned duties when the confrontation escalated.
She sustained injuries that required medical treatment. Her name has not been released.
Following the release of the footage and completion of the investigation, Hunter was indicted on two counts of felonious assault on a corrections officer. On June 30th, 2025, Trumbull County Common Pleas Court set Hunter’s bond at $1,000,000, citing the severity of the attack and his extensive violent criminal history. Prosecutors also pursued a repeat-violent-offender specification.
Court records show Hunter was already serving a 32-year sentence for prior convictions including involuntary manslaughter, attempted murder, felonious assault, and aggravated robbery stemming from a 2011 Toledo convenience-store robbery. After the indictment, he was transferred to the Ohio State Penitentiary in Youngstown pending further proceedings on the new charges.
