It quickly escalated into widespread vandalism that included the destruction of furniture, a guard station including a computer and other electronics, and a sprinkler that resulted in foot of water. Guards used stun grenades and tear gas to quell the riot early Friday morning. The sheriff has identified 14 inmates who were involved in the destruction, most of them from Vermont. Read More. |
