A man died at a Columbus, Ohio hospital last Wednesday after being stabbed last Tuesday at a local prison. North Central Correctional Institution inmate Ernest Hall, 21, died at the Ohio State University Medical Center before 1 p.m. last Wednesday, said Lt. Rick Zwayer, spokesman for the Ohio Highway Patrol's general headquarters in Columbus. Another inmate stabbed Hall several times in the upper chest with an 8-inch shank, or prison-made knife, in the prison yard of North Central, 670 Marion-Williamsport Road. Patrol investigators responded at 12:55 p.m. No one has been charged in the incident but there is a suspect, Zwayer said. He said investigators are trying to determine the reason for the stabbing. It is not known how the inmate made the shank or what materials were used for it. Hall was serving a 4-year sentence for robbery, and the offense or offenses were committed in Lucas County in northern Ohio, according to the Ohio Department of Rehabilitation and Correction Web site. Ohio State Highway Patrol Bucyrus Post representatives are handling the investigation with help from investigators working for the prison. Zwayer said in addition to its own investigators, each prison institution has Patrol investigators assigned to it out of the district office, but troopers from a local post may take initial reports. |
