  • The inmate is accused of assaulting his roommate inside their cell at the Monroe County Detention Center in Florida Thursday
  • The inmate told authorities his cellmate "farts too much, fails to give a courtesy flush and speaks weird languages"
  • The victim was left with two missing teeth and a broken rib, among other injuries

A 33-year-old Florida inmate charged with assaulting his cellmate told authorities the victim "farts too much" and doesn't flush their shared toilet after using it, police documents showed.

Christopher Callen is accused of repeatedly punching 57-year-old Amado Dominguez-Quevedo inside their cell at the Monroe County Detention Center in the city of Key West Thursday night, The Smoking Gun reported, citing an arrest report.

Dominguez-Quevedo told police during an interview at a hospital emergency room that he was cleaning their cell's toilet that night when Callen suddenly grabbed him by the shirt. Callen then repeatedly punched Dominguez-Quevedo in the face and ribs while calling him a "motherf----r," police alleged.

Dominguez-Quevedo told investigators he "had no idea why he was being attacked out of the blue and that it seemed random," according to the arrest report.

The attack left the victim with two missing teeth, a broken rib, as well as "swollen and bruised lips and left orbital socket," police said. Dominguez-Quevedo was taken to Lower Keys Medical Center and later provided a sworn written statement to police.

Authorities questioned Callen, whose knuckles and hands were red, regarding the incident, but he "made several nonsensical statements that did not correlate with the incident" and "only made three statements of relevance," according to the arrest report.

"[Callen] stated that his cellmate, [Dominguez-Quevedo], farts too much stinking up the cell, that he fails to 'give a courtesy flush' and that he speaks weird languages," police said.

Callen — who has been jailed since his arrest in late September for failing to register as a sex offender with Florida officials following a sex offense conviction in Colorado in 2012 — was charged Sunday with felony aggravated battery by an inmate. He is set to be arraigned on Nov. 19.

Additionally, a judge ordered Callen to have no contact with Dominguez-Quevedo, who remained locked up on a $40,000 bond since his February arrest for aggravated battery and indecent exposure.

A similar incident happened at a U.K. prison in September last year when a man attacked his cellmate with a kettle and repeatedly punched him because of the victim's snoring.
