A Los Angeles County inmate accused of assaulting an Asian American custody assistant at the Sheriff’s Department’s Inmate Reception Center this week could be charged with a hate crime, officials said.
The man, Arnulfo Meza, 29, was being detained at the downtown jail that processes most of the bookings and releases for the county’s system of lockups on Wednesday when he asked to use the restroom, the Sheriff’s Department said in a statement.
Meza had one hand unshackled from his waist chain and allegedly punched the 54-year-old custody assistant as she handed him toilet paper, sending her crashing into medical carts, the Sheriff’s Department said. He then punched her twice more in the face as she lay on the floor, according to authorities.

Officials said the five counts filed against Dorsey, which include one count of murder and one count of kidnapping, will result in him possibly facing a maximum 20 years in prison, when accounting for elder parole and good behavior, should he be convicted of all the charges.
