All it took was a fish sandwich and a can of Sprite to free two hostages held at the Oklahoma County Juvenile Detention Center.17-year-old Antwon Moore had held two jail officers hostage for nearly two hours using a sharp, broken-off table leg as a weapon. Oklahoma County Sheriff John Whetsel said the two employees weren't injured. Whetsel said staff had been having problems with inmates since Sunday morning. The two jail officers went into the pod to calm the inmates down and were taken hostage at about 11:45 AM.A hostage negotiator persuaded Moore to release the hostages and surrender in exchange for the soda and sandwich about 2:15 PM. Moore told officials that he hadn't been fed in days. Facility administrator Larry Hicks says the juveniles were given food Sunday morning. Moore has been taken to the Oklahoma County jail. He could face charges of kidnapping and inciting a riot. Three other inmates could also be charge in the incident. |
