CELINA, Ohio (WOWO): The Mercer County Sheriff’s Office is investigating after an inmate allegedly damaged a cell door and injured himself.
Kevin McDonald, 38 of Rockford, was arrested on Monday on preliminary charges of inducing panic, a misdemeanor. Officials say McDonald was intoxicated when he arrived at the jail.
Once he was placed in an intake cell, police say McDonald wrapped his arm in a blanket and beat a window in the cell, shattering the window. He split his arm open and was placed in a restraint chair. He was later treated at Mercer Health.
The Mercer County Prosecutor’s Office is reviewing the incident for possible charges for the damage to the jail.
