On December 8, 2021, an inmate was assaulted with a makeshift weapon in the Detention Facility by another inmate. The victim was treated onsite by medical staff and did not require transportation to an area hospital.

                

At approximately 1:53 p.m., the suspect Jermall L. Campbell, who has been in custody since June 30, 2021 for First Degree Murder, Aggravated Battery, Criminal Possession of a Firearm, Gambling, and a Federal Hold, exited his housing area. Campbell then approached the entry to the victim’s housing area and when the victim opened the door attacked him with a makeshift weapon. Sheriff’s Office deputies quickly responded and took control of the area stopping the attack.
