Tecumseh State Prison
TECUMSEH, Neb. (AP) - The Nebraska Attorney General's Office and the Johnson County Attorney say charges have been filed against five inmates in connection with a May riot at the prison in Tecumseh that left two inmates dead.
In a news release issued Thursday, the attorney general's office said the five inmates charged face counts ranging from making terroristic threats to assault.
No one has yet been charged in the deaths of two sex offenders who were found dead at the prison once order was restored following the May 10 riot. The riot also left two guards and four inmates injured.
Officials said Thursday that property crimes and the homicides committed in the riot are still under investigation and additional charges may be forthcoming.
