EL DORADO, Kan. (KAKE) -

The scene in Butler County was tense for awhile this afternoon as emergency management crews came in from all over the county to assist with what was being considered a riot at the Butler County Jail - all because inmates were angry over Sunday's lunch, and were refusing to go back to their cells.

Butler County Sheriff Kelly Herzet says incidents like the one today at the Butler County Jail are common, but they rarely start over mashed potatoes.

"They did tip over a lot of tables, set off some fire extinguishers, tear up some security cameras just to retaliate that they didn't like the meal they were served today at lunch," Sheriff Herzet said.

According to Sheriff Herzet, reinforcements were called to the jail shortly after noon Sunday because around 50 inmates were refusing to go back to their cells.
