A former Boundary County jail employee is scheduled to enter a plea on a battery charge stemming from an incident that allegedly occurred while he was working at the jail. 

Karl Clifford Green, 52, was charged with one count of aggravated battery after allegedly slamming a female inmate into a filing cabinet, causing a torn rotator cuff and six dead teeth. 

The alleged incident occurred Oct. 20, 2023, after a female inmate began pounding on her cell door and yelling. As Green opened the cell door to attend to the inmate, court documents suggest she attempted to move past him.  

The affidavit indicates Green pushed the inmate back into the cell and she became compliant, raising her hands, before cursing Green, leading to the alleged filing cabinet incident. 

Medical records show the inmate went to the hospital the following day. The treating physician reported the inmate suffered a neck sprain, sprains and bruises to her shoulder and elbow and bruises to her face and left hip.   

Green was initially charged on Dec. 23, 2025. Court records indicate Green is not in custody and was not assigned a bond.
