GAINESVILLE, Fla. – Jake Fletcher, 18, was moved to the Alachua County Jail yesterday and charged with battery on a detainee in a detention facility after allegedly slamming another detainee onto the concrete floor and then kneeling on his mouth.

At about 6:20 p.m., Fletcher and the victim were arguing in their dorm room at the Juvenile Detention Center when Fletcher allegedly picked up the victim and slammed him on the concrete floor.

  • Another adult in kiddie jail? Should be out on the chain gang working.

    • Yes, he could work out all that pent-up energy and aggression, get some vitamin D and sunshine for those hideously infected sores.

  • Who said don’t cry over spilt milk? Growing up he must have watched too much wrestling instead of getting outside & enjoying the outdoors.

    Least it was a “mano a mano” fight. Wonder why there’s no mention of 30 other inmates jumping in?
