A Baker man awaiting trial on a 2019 murder charge attacked a corrections officer early this morning at the Okaloosa County Jail in Crestview. The officer had unshackled 25-year old Emanuel Colley after leading him back to his cell. He told Colley to go into his cell but Colley refused and lunged towards him. The officer was struck several times in the face and suffered a broken nose, two black eyes, and two chipped teeth. Colley, who is being held on an OCSO murder warrant in connection with a stabbing death in Baker in 2019, is now charged by the Okaloosa County Sheriff’s Office with aggravated battery on an officer and aggravated battery by an incarcerated person. Colley has three previous convictions for Battery.
