About 90 minutes before he was to be shipped off to the Indiana Department of Correction on last week, convicted child molester Anthony Demarco slashed his wrists in the Kosciusko County Jail. Demarco, a former youth worker and reserve police officer, was to join five or six inmates on their way to the Reception and Diagnostic Center in Plainfield, and for him it was the start of a 120-year prison sentence for child molesting. According to Kosciusko County Chief Deputy Jim Springer, Demarco used what police believe was a razor blade to cut his wrists. Demarco, 26, has been held in an isolation cell, at his request, since his arrest in March 2005 on the child molesting charges. While that cell is under constant observation via closed-circuit video, the camera does not catch the area in front of the cell's toilet to allow inmates privacy. After he was told to collect his belongings for the trip to Plainfield, Demarco became agitated and disappeared into the toilet area, Springer said. Jail officers became suspicious, went to check on him and found him sitting on the toilet with slit wrists and blood on the cell floor. He told them he flushed the sharp object down the toilet, Springer said. Jail officers put pressure on the wounds and took him to the Kosciusko Community Hospital, where his arms were stitched up. He was sent to Plainfield about 90 minutes later, Springer said. Springer said Demarco had written letters to his mother and others and accused his attorney of lying to him by leading him to believe he would not be immediately sent to the state prison system. In January, Demarco, of the 200 block of South Oak Street in Mentone, was convicted of molesting a 13-year-old while he lived with the boy's family from 2002 to 2004. Additional charges are pending, and he is set to stand trial in August. |
