EPHRATA — A corrections deputy was attacked in open court by an unshackled Grant County Jail inmate Tuesday morning. The incident prompted significant discussion in court on Tuesday regarding the shackling of inmates. The inmate, 26-year-old Alejandro Rodriguez, has been in jail since August following an arrest in the Lakeview community after he reportedly fired shots at several officers. Rodriguez was shot himself in an exchange of gunfire with police and was later booked into the jail. He is currently facing charges in Grant County Superior Court of four counts of first-degree assault-law enforcement officer and is being held without bail based on the severity of the charges and the possibility of a life sentence if he is convicted. Charges are expected to be filed against Rodriguez for Tuesday’s incident. Rodriguez was scheduled to be in court Tuesday for a hearing when the incident with the corrections deputy occurred. Rodriguez entered the courtroom unshackled and, for reasons that remain a mystery, proceeded to attack corrections deputy Willie Rodriguez. There was four deputies in the courtroom when the incident occurred and at some point in the moments immediately after the scuffle Alejandro Rodriguez grabbed for Willie Rodriguez’s gun. Alejandro was tased twice by corrections deputy Brian Kisler as a result, after which he complied with directives and was escorted out of the courtroom. Read More. |
