A LICENSED PRACTICAL NURSE IS ATTACKED BY INMATE AT MADISON COUNTY JAIL IN ANDERSON, INDIANA
A licensed practical nurse employed by SNR Medical Services, a third-party contractor for medical services for the Madison County Jail, was attacked by an inmate on Thursday. The inmate, Omond J. Smith, 32 of Anderson, Indiana, had complained of Asthma symptoms while being transported from the Wabash Valley Correctional Facility to the Madison County Courthouse for a hearing.
While receiving treatment from the LPN, Smith apparently got a hold of some type of wire mesh cloth which he used during the attack. Shortly after attempting to restrain the LPN, a guard heard the commotion and intervened to help the nurse.
Smith will be charged with criminal confinement, battery and possession of a dangerous weapon/material. The LPN reported to have sustained only minor injuries.
