At least two victims of an Ohio man who pleaded guilty to carrying out a series of brutal attacks in Cleveland voiced their outrage after a judge recently released him — again.

Serus Walters, 20, pleaded guilty on May 19 to assaulting three men, according to Cuyahoga County court records. Judge Cassandra Collier-Williams reduced Walters’ felony charge to a misdemeanor and released him on time served after his plea.

One of the victims, Los Angeles-based attorney David Dudley, 64, who was visiting Cleveland on business when Walters attacked him on May 29, 2024, told WOIO that he is baffled by the judge’s decision to release Walters on Monday.

“I was fairly certain he was trying to kill me,” Dudley told the outlet.

“Despite the severity of the offense, counsel submits that GPS monitoring would be sufficient to ensure the safety of the public and of the alleged victims,” the defense attorney wrote.

Walters was most recently arrested again on Wednesday, just two days after his release, for a minor offense in Garfield Heights.

Fox News Digital has reached out to Triozzi, Collier-Williams’ office and the Cuyahoga County Prosecutor’s Office for comment.
