Corrections Officer Michael Combs Charged with Battery

A central Florida corrections officer has been charged with battery after two female inmates told investigators he inappropriately touched them.

Michael Combs was arrested at his home in Lake County on Monday and later released on bond.

The Orange County Sheriff's Office says the inmates claim Combs inappropriately touched them while awaiting trial in holding cells. When contacted by detectives, Combs allegedly admitted to patting two of the women on the buttocks, but said his actions weren't sexually motivated.

Combs has been placed on paid administrative leave and could not be reached for comment. Jail records did not indicate if he has obtained an attorney.
