A thinner, grayer and bearded Anthony Garcia found himself before a judge again on Tuesday – this time on charges that he assaulted two Douglas County corrections officers.

Garcia is charged with killing Roger and Mary Brumback on May 14 and 11-year-old Thomas Hunter and his house cleaner, Shirlee Sherman, in 2008.

When asked if he understood the most recent charges against him, Garcia responded: "Not really."

After a judge outlined the accusations, Garcia changed his response: "I understand that."

According to a Douglas County Sheriff's Office report, Garcia kicked a guard in the ribs and punched another correctional officer.

The incident happened Friday morning after a Douglas County Jail guard told Garcia he had to return to his cell.

Garcia said he needed more time because he was not able to successfully place a call to his attorneys, said Alison Motta, Garcia's lawyer. The call wasn't going through, Motta said.
