Parkland shooter, Nikolas Cruz, has been charged with two counts of aggravated assault on an officer and one count of use of an “electric or chemical weapon against a law enforcement officer after he attacked a prison guard earlier this week. Cruz is already facing 17 murder charges for the mass shooting at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School on Feb. 14.
Apparently, the fight in the Ft. Lauderdale jail happened when a sergeant asked Cruz to stop dragging his sandals as he walked. According to a Broward County Sheriff’s report, Cruz gave him the finger before he “rushed him and attacked him in the face.” Cruz also allegedly got on top of the sergeant and punched him several times.
Then, Cruz grabbed the guard’s “conductive electronic weapon” during the fight, and it went off, not injuring Cruz or the deputy, according to Broward County Sheriff’s Sgt. Anthony Marciano, a union rep for the jail guards.
Preliminary bond is set at $200,000.
