On April 25th at approximately 5:30 p.m. the jail staff at the Sheriff’s Office was escorting inmate Austin Clemons back to his cell block after being served a warrant for the criminal charge of assault when all of the sudden the inmate became aggressive, non-compliant, and started fighting with the on duty jailer. Deputy Justin Ehrsam and Sheriff Mitchell Shaw ran up the stairs to help the jailer with the inmate. The inmate had to be tased, and physically restrained to gain compliance from the inmate.
The inmate was taken back downstairs and placed in the safety restraint chair for his safety and the safety of the staff at the Sheriff’s Office. While being placed in the safety restraint chair the inmate attempted to kick at the officers involved. Due to the inmate's actions, the population at the jail, and the inability to segregate the inmate, the inmate was transported to another agency to be held temporarily. Reports will be sent to the Barton County Prosecuting Attorney for the criminal charges of assault on a Law Enforcement officer.
