(Polson – KPAX) Two inmates tried to break out of the Lake County Detention Center in Polson on Friday, April 5th.
Lake County Sheriff Don Bell said that the inmates assaulted a detention officer and then tried to escape after taking the officer’s keys at approximately 7 p.m.
The escape was prevented when another detention officer was able to secure the inmates, according to a news release.
Sheriff Bell says additional deputies along with Polson police officers were called to the jail “to quell further disturbances in the jail and lock all inmates down.”
