Three Mesa County Jail inmates face new charges after allegedly assaulting another inmate for being a "snitch" and causing injuries that sent the man to a hospital.

Inmates Jaime Hernandez, 27, and Josh Apraiz, 19, each were charged with retaliation against a witness and third-degree assault. Inmate Jose Varela, 26, was charged with complicity.

All three inmates received $10,000 cash bonds in court Tuesday.

According to an arrest affidavit, the assault occurred May 20 in Oak pod, about four hours after the victim was moved to that pod.
