CLEVELAND, Ohio— Cuyahoga County has agreed to pay $300,000 to settle a lawsuit with a former jail inmate who was punched and pepper-sprayed while strapped to a chair.

The officers who attacked Chantelle Glass both previously pleaded guilty to criminal charges and spent time in jail or prison.

Cuyahoga County Council is expected to approve the settlement on Tuesday night.

“Ms. Glass will be relieved to put this whole sorry ordeal behind her,” Glass’ attorney, Subodh Chandra, said. “She hopes for the sake of others that Cuyahoga County will stop its pattern of human rights abuses.”

Cuyahoga County spokeswoman Jennifer Ciaccia said the county does not comment on pending litigation.

The lawsuit was filed in 2020 in federal court in Cleveland. It accused officers Robert Marsh and Idris-Farid Clark of excessive force and violating Glass’ civil rights.

The beating happened July 16, 2018, after Glass was arrested in connection with a domestic dispute in which she was never charged. She was held in jail for failing to show up to court for a prior traffic ticket.

Officers refused to allow her to make a phone call to tell someone she was in jail, according to the lawsuit.

The lawsuit said an officer threatened to tie her to restraint chair and beat her.

A video of the beating, first obtained by cleveland.com and The Plain Dealer after filing a claim against the county in the Ohio Court of Claims to spur its release, showed Marsh strap Glass to a restraint chair.

As Glass was mostly tied down, Marsh slugged her in the head with an opened-handed punch, and Clark pepper-sprayed her face for about six seconds from about 6 inches away from her face.

Glass asked why Clark pepper-sprayed her, and he responded, “Because you talk too much,” the lawsuit says.

Glass suffers from asthma and struggled breathing. The officers left her strapped down in a utility closet for several minutes without getting medical attention, according to the lawsuit.

Clark, a corporal at the time, was initially suspended for 15 days after the attack, while Marsh initially was suspended for three days.

The case was one of several that sparked an Ohio attorney general’s office criminal investigation into the jail.

Marsh pleaded guilty to misdemeanor assault and was sentenced to 30 days in jail.

Clark was later accused of trying to extort a co-worker by threatening to send a video of an excessive force in the jail if the co-worker testified against him.

He pleaded guilty to extortion, attempted felonious assault and unlawful restraint. A judge sentenced him to 18 months in prison.

Both agreed to resign as part of their plea deals.
