Court documents show that the incident happened after 26-year-old inmate David Pieper Jr. accused Jones of stealing seven ramen noodle packages and a bowl from Pieper’s cell. Pieper was unable to talk about the fight at the time but gave a written account to investigators.
Authorities say security cameras showed Jones punching Pieper.
