2 guards allegedly stabbed by inmate in Los Angeles County state prison
Two guards from the Los Angeles County state prison were hospitalized after an inmate allegedly stabbed them Sunday night. The California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation said prisoner Shuantae R. Taylor, 43, attacked the two officers while they were inspecting his cell. Investigators said he allegedly used an improvised weapon, which they found in the cell. Prison staff quickly stopped the attack. No one else was injured. Medical personnel treated the guards at a nearby hospital. They were eventually discharged. CDCR officials stated that they will present the case to the Los Angeles County District Attorney's Office once their investigation is complete. Taylor has been transferred to another prison and has been placed in restrictive housing. Taylor has been serving a life sentence after a San Bernardino County court convicted him of a series of violent crimes, including rape, robbery and holding a hostage to avoid arrest. While serving his life sentence, Taylor has received two more convictions for attacking guards. In 2019, a Kings County court sentenced him to four more years in prison for aggravated battery on a peace officer by gassing. The following year, a Kern County court sentenced him to 10 more years in prison for attacking another guard.

Bryan Kohberger's Next-Door Inmate Exposes The Idaho Killer's 'Annoying' Prison Habits
One of the documents released by police following Bryan Kohberger's sentencing has given a rare glimpse into how his next-door inmate perceived the accused killer during his time in Latah County Jail. The 30-year-old spent several weeks in the Moscow prison while awaiting trial for the brutal murders of four University of Idaho students. According to his next-door inmate, Bryan Kohberger was "highly intelligent," but his behavior quickly became "annoying," particularly his obsessive habit of washing his hands dozens of times a day. The Next-Door Inmate Claimed Bryan Kohberger Had Very Weird Hygiene Habits Following his arrest in December for the quadruple homicide of four University of Idaho students, Bryan Kohberger spent several weeks under maximum security at the Latah County Jail in Moscow, Idaho, as he awaited hearings and arraignment. Recently unsealed documents have revealed that a neighboring inmate shared observations about Kohberger's behavior during his time in custody, according to TMZ. The inmate described the 30-year-old as "highly intelligent and polite for the most part," but was turned off by his several "annoying" habits that became evident over the nearly one-month period they were housed next to each other. He claimed that the convicted killer frequently washed his hands dozens of times each day and often spent nearly an hour in the shower. The inmate also complained that Kohberger would stay up almost all night, pacing around, which seemed to disrupt his own sleep. As a result, Kohberger would often nap throughout the day to compensate for the lost sleep. The Convicted Killer Once Lost His Temper While Around A Fellow Inmate Elsewhere in the documents, the inmate revealed that Kohberger would spend hours each day on video calls with his mother, Maryann. During one of these calls, Kohberger weirdly lost his cool in front of his inmate, which had not happened until that moment. The inmate recounted that while casually watching a sports game, he had muttered, "You suck," at a player, but Kohberger abruptly snapped. He reportedly rushed to the bars and demanded to know whether the insult was aimed at him or his mother. Bryan Kohberger Was Very Curious About His Fellow Inmate's Criminal History Regarding whether they spoke often, the inmate confirmed that while they had frequent conversations, Kohberger never brought up his own charges. Instead, the former PhD student was more curious about the inmate's criminal history and why he was placed in the jail's maximum-security unit. When it came time for Kohberger's transfer to the Ada County Jail in Boise, Idaho, the convicted murderer was reportedly eager about the move. However, the inmate later told authorities he doubted Kohberger would actually enjoy the new facility. The Killer Asked A Tinder Date 'Uncomfortable' Questions About Murders The inmate's revelations weren't the only striking details to emerge from the tranche of documents released by the police. One document revealed that Kohberger matched with someone on Tinder just weeks before he murdered four students. According to the New York Post, the woman told authorities that Kohberger asked disturbing questions about murders, including what "she thought would be the worst way to die." She said she believed it would be by a knife, to which Kohberger allegedly responded with "something to the effect of, 'like a Ka Bar?'" The knife is believed to have been the murder weapon used in the Idaho students' killings, although it was never found. Elsewhere in the doc, it was mentioned that as the conversation continued, the woman became increasingly "uncomfortable" with Kohberger's questions. She eventually stopped talking to him, effectively ending any potential relationship. Despite the woman's alarming claims, police found "nothing to corroborate" her story, largely because she no longer had access to the Tinder account she used. Bryan Kohberger Reportedly Had Scratch Marks On His Face Around The Time Of The Murders More details from the released docs included how a former colleague of Kohberger at Washington State University found something shocking about the killer around the time of the murders. According to the teaching assistant, Kohberger once came to work during this period with what appeared to be "scratches from fingernails" on his face and hands. When the individual tried to probe further about how Kohberger got the marks, the accused claimed he had "been in a car accident." The teaching assistant also revealed that, over time, Kohberger's behavior grew increasingly erratic. He added that he once had to warn him for interacting inappropriately with students after noticing that he was trying to leverage his position.

Inmate mistakenly released from New Orleans jail where 10 escaped
Authorities in New Orleans say they are on the hunt for an inmate who was released by mistake from the same jail where 10 broke out earlier this year. Authorities don't know whether Khalil Bryan, 30, was aware he was being released by mistake from the Orleans Justice Center on July 25, but said he was being put on notice with the announcement that he is a fugitive, said New Orleans Police Department Superintendent Anne Kirkpatrick. Bryan was being held on charges including possession of stolen property, possession of drug paraphernalia and resisting an officer, and also had an active warrant for aggravated assault with a firearm, domestic abuse, child endangerment and home invasion, Kirkpatrick said. The error comes as the jail and the Orleans Parish Sheriff's Office are still reeling from the escape of 10 inmates in the early morning hours of May 16 when authorities say the inmates exited through a hole in a cell wall after ripping out a toilet. One of those inmates, convicted killer Derrick Groves, has yet to be recaptured. "I do want to make an appeal to Mr. Bryan, even though it was a mistaken release from custody, you are on notice you are a fugitive. I'm going to ask that you turn yourself in," Kirkpatrick said at a news conference, adding that Bryan could face additional charges. The release stemmed from a case of mistaken identity, when Bryan was confused with another inmate with a similar last name, said Sheriff Susan Hutson. Hutson said the jail's system has ways to catch such discrepancies, but the release was due to "human error." An investigation and review of protocols is underway and disciplinary action would be forthcoming, she said. "I want to make a sincere apology to the people of New Orleans. The mistaken release of Khalil Bryan was a serious error and as sheriff I take full responsibility," Hutson said. "I want the public to know this should not have happened. It was a failure of internal processes and the public has every right to expect better." Still, Hutson said mistakes do sometimes happen in a system that processes 11,000 inmates every year. The New Orleans Police Department's violent offender squad was actively searching for Bryan, Kirkpatrick said. Anyone with knowledge of his whereabouts should contact authorities, she said. Anyone found to be harboring him may also face charges. 1 of 10 inmates still at large in New Orleans jailbreak Groves, 27, is the last remaining inmate who broke out in May still on the run. The last arrest of those fugitives was made in June, nearly six weeks after the escape. Some were nabbed by authorities as far away as Texas. The nine inmates who have been recaptured all pleaded not guilty to charges related to the escape on July 23, the Louisiana Attorney General's Office said. Groves was convicted of two charges of second-degree murder and two charges of attempted second-degree murder in October in connection with a shooting during Mardi Gras in 2018. Groves also has been awaiting sentencing on a manslaughter charge since October. Since the escape, at least 16 other people have been arrested and accused of helping the inmates break out or stay on the run, including family members and at least one jail employee.

Metropolitan Detention Center reports 6th inmate death this year
ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. (KRQE) – The Metropolitan Detention Center (MDC) has confirmed the death of another inmate on Wednesday. Thomas Acee II died while in custody at MDC. Acee has previously made headlines for various crimes, including a significant incident in 2021 when he was accused of shooting at the newly completed Alvarado Square building in downtown Albuquerque. This shooting forced the building to close for ten days for repairs, and at that time, Acee was already wanted for other offenses. Jury unable to reach verdict in Albuquerque murder trial Just last year, Acee faced allegations in the murder of a 13-year-old during a drive-by shooting in downtown Albuquerque. He was being housed at MDC. Jail officials reported that around 4:30 a.m. on Wednesday, Acee was found unresponsive. Efforts to revive him were unsuccessful, and he was pronounced dead. The Office of the Medical Investigator and the Bernalillo County Sheriff's Office are currently investigating Acee's death. BCSO has stated they will provide more information once the autopsy is completed. This marks the sixth death at MDC this year. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.
