Richard Donald Lloyd Janssen was jailed in February after he opened fire on two corrections department officers with a sawed off shotgun, police said. Then, awaiting trial, he attacked an inmate with a makeshift knife fashioned from a safety razor. Now, corrections officials said, Janssen has been at it again. On Saturday, Janssen refused to return to his cell and then attacked two jail officers with a dust mop, according to a Cowlitz County Sheriff's Office report. Janssen struck one officer in the side of the head and on the shoulder, leaving bruises on both, deputies said. Another officer was left with a large bump on his forehead and a bruised hand. The officers were able to pin Janssen to the floor, handcuff him and place him in a holding cell, authorities said. Janssen, who faces life in prison if convicted under the state's three-strikes law, told a deputy "had nothing to lose" and "thought additional charges were a joke," according to the report. The 33-year-old transient has been charged with two counts of attempted premeditated murder with a firearm and 18 other charges stemming from a Feb. 10 incident in which he allegedly fired a shotgun at two Department of Corrections officers in the Highlands. The officers were uninjured. Read More. |
