""Upon learning of the alleged misconduct, Sheriff Miyamoto took immediate action to remove the deputy from inmate contact," said Tara Moriarty, the sheriff's spokesperson. "Excessive force will not be tolerated." The case will first be examined by the sheriff's criminal investigations unit. The outcome of the investigation, Moriarty said, will determine next steps. "Any violation - administrative or criminal - will have consequences," Moriarty added. "Any abusive authority is a serious breach of public trust.""
"Hardee said he was in his cell requesting to use the phone when Escobar began cursing at him and threatening him, saying, "You're gonna be someone's bitch in prison, you're gonna be my bitch here." Kishawn Norbert, who is incarcerated next door to Hardee, said he witnessed the incident. In an interview, Norbert said he heard Escobar say, "we're going to handle this the old San Bruno way," referring to reports of deputies fist-fighting inmates at the San Francisco County Jail complex in San Bruno."
The San Francisco Sheriff's Office and Department of Police Accountability are investigating an allegation that a sheriff's deputy started a physical fight with a 27-year-old inmate after saying "you're gonna be my bitch." The deputy has been reassigned from inmate contact. Sheriff Miyamoto ordered removal pending investigation; the sheriff's criminal investigations unit will examine the case and determine next steps. The sheriff's spokesperson said excessive force will not be tolerated and any administrative or criminal violation will have consequences. Inmate Kayleb Hardee said Deputy Abraham Escobar opened his cell, brought him unrestrained to a multipurpose room, and engaged in the fight.
