A 25-year-old Bainbridge man faces assault charges over food in the Kitsap County Jail.

Adrian Allan Charvet was charged with second-degree assault in Kitsap County Superior Court Jan. 2.

When Port Orchard police arrested the suspect on Jan. 1, he originally was charged with second-degree attempted murder, said Port Orchard Police Cmdr. Dale Schuster.

Bail for Charvet, who was in custody for an unrelated charge, was set at $500,000.

Schuster reported the suspect assaulted his 50-year-old cell mate after he took a biscuit off of Charvet’s plate.

Charging papers stated that the suspect punched the man several times to the head with his closed fist and attempted to gouge the victim’s eyes out. The suspect placed his hands around the victim’s neck and attempted to strangle him.

The victim told investigators he feared for his life and he could not breathe while being strangled. He stated that without the Kitsap County Sheriff’s Office corrections officers, he would haven’t survived, according to court documents.

According to the Bainbridge Island Review, Charvet was accused of assaulting two women at random outside The Doctors Clinic in December before barricading himself in his second-story apartment on Wallace Way.

Police arrested Charvet, 25, after a nearly three-hour standoff. A Bainbridge police officer discovered Charvet yelling from his apartment window as police were responding to a report of two women who had been assaulted outside The Doctors Clinic a few blocks away on Hildebrand Lane.

Charvet has been in the Kitsap County Jail since his arrest Dec. 15.

He was charged with second-degree assault for the attack in Kitsap County District Court on Friday, Jan. 2. His next court appearance has been set for Jan. 13.
