Sheriff Hodgson shot back in a press conference the next day, calling Healey’s report “baseless” and “politically motivated.” Hodgson also claimed that while compiling the evidence for its report, the AG’s Office never reached out to him for an interview, despite the fact that he said he was “the only one who got hurt” in the fracas between BCSO staff and a group of 10 immigrant detainees who refused to be taken to the jail’s medical wing for COVID-19 testing.
Hodgson says he was struck by a chair that a detainee is alleged to have thrown at him, causing a shoulder injury that the sheriff says has led to him still dealing with “nerve” issues, and chastised Healey’s report by saying she was “weaponizing” her office to combat those she disagrees with politically.
