The nine corrections officers’ names were released alongside 10 others listed in the incident report from April 7, 2025.

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. — The Jacksonville Sheriff’s Office has released the names of nine corrections officers involved in the April 7 incident inside the Duval County Jail that led to the death of 31-year-old Charles Faggart. 

He was on a ventilator for two days before he died in the hospital after an incident involving the corrections officers; his attorney said he had been brain dead since the day of his injuries.

Eight corrections officers and one corrections sergeant are listed as part of the active investigation and have been stripped of their corrections authority, JSO said in a social media post. Their names and identification numbers are:

  • Sgt. W.H. Cox #76320
  • Ofc. T.C. Pennamon #88613
  • Ofc. G.L. Mckinnis #86574
  • Ofc. D.D. Thomas #82590
  • Ofc. M.E. Sullivan #84331
  • Ofc. P.L. Collins #88641
  • Ofc. A.K. Maygoo #88643
  • Ofc. E. Kurtovic #84333
  • Ofc. J.J. Bullard #88012

First Coast News is working to obtain the personnel records of these nine corrections officers. 

JSO also released the names of 10 others they said were listed in the April 7 incident report as witnesses and responders to the scene, but not under investigation.

The incident remains in its “early stages” of a criminal investigation by JSO, the FBI and the State Attorney’s Office, JSO said.

“It is a top priority for Sheriff Waters and his administration to get the information involving this incident to Mr. Faggart’s family, friends, and our community,” JSO said in the post. “However, we ask people to respect that serious investigations like this take time and it is our duty to get it right. Rest assured; we will release relevant case details as soon as we are able to do so.”

Faggart, the owner and chef at Chop it Charlie’s, was identified as the inmate involved in the incident the day after Sheriff T.K. Waters told the public someone had sustained “very, very bad” injuries in the jail.

His attorney, Belkis Plata, released a statement after his death on April 10, pleading with JSO for more information about what happened. “This family has a right to know what happened to their son — under Florida law, under Marsy’s Law, and under any sense of human decency,” the statement said. “Even if Sheriff Waters refuses to share that information publicly, he owes this family the truth privately.”

JSO released the following statement the day of his death: 

“Detectives continue to work diligently to gain a complete understanding of the facts and circumstances that led to the brain death of Charles Faggart after the April 7th incident at the Duval County Jail. This is an active, dynamic investigation that requires, amongst other things, the opinion of the Office of the Medical Examiner.  JSO will conduct a thorough, complete, and comprehensive investigation in this case, as it does in every death investigation. Detectives have and will continue to remain in communication with the family through its attorney.

Transparency is a priority for JSO.  However, that priority does not supersede the agency’s commitment to maintain the integrity of criminal investigations.  Once Sheriff Waters has answers, he will provide those answers to the Faggart family.  Once the criminal case is completed, Sheriff Waters will share the details of this death investigation publicly.

As Sheriff Waters previously stated, the eight corrections officers and corrections sergeant have been stripped of their authority pending the criminal and, subsequent, administrative investigations.”
