(KAIR)--Two inmates of the Atchison County Jail are facing charges related to battering corrections officers in two separate cases.
A release from Atchison County Sheriff Jack Laurie places the date of the first incident as March 22, when 35-year-old Anthony Barnhart “was [allegedly] involved in a battery against a corrections officer in the Atchison County Jail.”
According to the release, a warrant was issued for Barnhart charging him with felony battery against a law enforcement officer, resulting in a bond of $50,000 for the crime.
Barnhart remains jailed, and has been since early November of last year, held for unrelated charges.
The second case involved 58-year-old Porter Webb who allegedly “was involved in a battery against a corrections officer in the Atchison County Jail” on April 14.
According to Laurie’s release, “reports were sent to the County Attorney for review which resulted in a warrant being issued” for Webb on April 19.
Webb was charged with felony battery against a law enforcement officer, which led to a bond of $50,000 for the charge.
Webb remains in the jail where Laurie says he’s been held since mid-August of last year on unrelated charges.
According to Laurie, the corrections officer suffered no injuries.
