WASHINGTON - SWAT officers tossed a flash-bang distraction device into a cell at the Clark County Jail late Monday, about an hour after an inmate allegedly took his cellmate hostage by holding a sharpened plastic utensil to his throat. About 10:30 p.m., as the diversion device detonated, SWAT members rushed into the cell and captured inmate Michael A. Jacobson, 20. His cellmate and hostage, 21-year-old Kenny Madarash of Vancouver, suffered only a superficial cut to his arm, said Sgt. Scott Schanaker with the Clark County Sheriff's Office. Both men remained in the jail early today, with no new charges immediately filed against Jacobson. The incident surfaced about 9:10 p.m. Monday, when custody officers heard Jacobson banging on his metal bed to get their attention, Schanaker said. Read more.
