By Ventura County Sheriff Department — Tuesday, February 24th, 2015
 Ventura County Sheriff's Department On February 17, 2015, Ventura County Sheriff’s Inmate Anthony Baty walked up to another inmate who was asleep on his bed and slashed him with a jail made “shank” (knife) across his face just missing his neck area. Medical staff and jail personnel responded and treated the victim for his injury. The victim was transported and received further treatment at the Ventura County Medical Center (VCMC). An investigation by the Sheriff’s Major Crimes Bureau and Jail Classification Unit was conducted. It appeared Baty and the victim had a verbal argument the day prior which prompted Inmate Baty to attack the victim. The victim sustained an approximate 6” laceration to the right side of his lower face. The victim was treated for his injury and returned to the Ventura County Jail. Baty was subsequently arrested for 664/187 PC (attempted murder) and 4502(b) PC (manufacture a weapon in a custody facility).
