A Hamilton County Jail inmate was injured by another inmate late Wednesday night, the sheriff’s office reports.
At around 9 p.m., Hamilton County corrections personnel used a taser to subdue an inmate who had a shank (a handmade weapon fashioned into a knife).
But before to being subdued, the suspect inmate injured a fellow inmate with the shank. However, the inmate’s injury did not require hospital treatment.
The Hamilton County Sheriff Office is currently investigating the incident, and the office has not identified the inmates.
