LITTLE ROCK, AR — Several Arkansas inmates who stole keys and controlled the doors and locks in part of a maximum security prison also had a Taser, and a key was found on a bus after the inmates were sent to another facility following the incident, according to documents released Tuesday by the state. The documents show that Arkansas Department of Correction Director Wendy Kelley told other prison officials in an email that the inmates who held the three officers for three hours at the Maximum Security Unit in Tucker Monday had also taken a Taser and other equipment. The records were provided to The Associated Press under an open records request. "We need to learn from these incidents, make changes as necessary and continue to strengthen our operation," Kelley told the officials, whom she asked to serve on a committee investigating the disturbance.(For more information on this and other Across Arkansas stories, subscribe to Patch to receive daily newsletters and breaking news alerts.
