KINGMAN - A third disturbance within four days broke out Saturday in a private prison in Kingman, authorities said.

Units with the Arizona Department of Public Safety and the Mohave County Sheriff's Office were helping the Department of Corrections with the unrest at Arizona State Prison-Kingman, officials said. The law enforcement officers are providing security around the perimeter of the prison.

Inmates in the Hualapai dormitory were "again refusing to comply with directives this afternoon," said Andrew Wilder, spokesman for the Department of Corrections.

By Saturday evening, however, "all inmates were complying with directives," Wilder said. He said he did not have information on whether any inmates were injured.

Saturday's disturbance was not a riot, said Wilder, who added that the cause of the disturbance remains under investigation.
