Hays State inmate gets out of prison, goes back to jail

Go to prison. Fight an officer. Get out of prison. Meet a deputy. Go back to jail.

Do not pass go.

According to the Georgia Department of Corrections, that's how 21-year-old Glenn McDowell plays the game. After a three-year stint at Hays State Prison in Trion, McDowell was set for release Saturday.

But on the other side, a Chattooga County Sheriff's Office deputy waited to greet him with a pair of handcuffs. The deputy arrested McDowell on charges that he attacked a corrections officer four months ago. During the beating, McDowell allegedly gave the officer a concussion and broke his nose.

He was arrested Saturday on charges of rioting in a penal institution, aggravated battery and obstruction of a law enforcement officer.

From the prison, the deputy took McDowell to jail. He waited there through the weekend and appeared in Chattooga County Magistrate Court on Monday morning, then returned to jail in lieu of a $25,000 bond. He remained behind bars Monday night.

According to the Department of Corrections, McDowell went to Hays State Prison after convictions in Dodge County for obstruction and attempting to escape the local jail in May 2010.

Then, on Sept. 23, McDowell apparently tried to lift pepper spray from corrections officer Daniel Brown's holster. According to an arrest warrant affidavit, McDowell then started punching the officer in the face and squeezing his throat.
