5 jailers arrested in attack near Tucson bar ***now with link***

Victims were 'brutally beaten' relentlessly, police report says

Five Pima County jail corrections officers were arrested Wednesday for what
Tucson police described as a brutal unprovoked attack, beating and kicking
four people, including a teenager, outside of a bar near North Fourth Avenue.

One of the victims was taken to a hospital for serious injuries.

The suspects are all facing multiple charges of aggravated assault involving
restraint or incapacitation of a victim, and aggravated assault resulting in
temporary but substantial injury, said Sgt. Chris Widmer, a Tucson Police Department spokesman.

The suspects were identified as John Hyatt, 30; Matthew Garcia, 24; Anthony Bonfiglio, 25;
Angel Castaneda, 23; and Steven Haglund, 26, Widmer said in a news release.
Sheriff Clarence Dupnik said all five have been placed on administrative leave while the investigation continues.

Two of the Pima County jail corrections officers accused of beating four people
outside of a North Fourth Avenue bar have been fired.

Angel Castaneda, 23, and Steven Haglund, 26, were fired today after they were
suspected of taking part in the attack on three men and a 17-year-old boy early
Wednesday outside the Buffet Bar, 538 E. Ninth Street, said Deputy Renee Carlson,
a Pima County Sheriff’s Department spokeswoman.

One of the men was taken to a hospital for serious injuries, Tucson police said.

Castaneda, Haglund and three other officers were arrested in the fight, which police said was unprovoked.
