INDIANAPOLIS, IN - A wheelchair-bound inmate was in critical condition this morning after another inmate beat him Tuesday in the Marion County Jail. James Caldwell, 28, admitted to beating Barr, police said. Barr, according to records, had been antagonizing Caldwell. "I had enough when he rolled over my foot," Caldwell told corrections officers. "I beat the (expletive) out of him." Barr, who has one leg and uses a wheelchair, had been in jail on misdemeanor charges of battery and trespassing. Caldwell was being held on an attempted murder charge. Caldwell could be charged with murder if Barr dies, Burton said. Burton said corrections officers responded quickly and no other inmates tried to break up the fight. |
