A private security officer at an immigrant detention center in Texas was criminally charged last week with choking a handcuffed detainee, who was later transported to the facility’s medical unit.

Charles Siringi is accused of putting his hands around the detainee’s neck and throat and slamming him against walls March 31 in Conroe, Texas, according to a criminal complaint.

Siringi, 66, was charged in U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Texas with deprivation of rights while acting under the government’s authority, resulting in bodily injury. He posted a $10,000 bail Tuesday.
