Inmate
assaults sheriff's deputy at jail
By Holly Adams
December 9, 2005 | LOGAN -- An inmate
at the Cache County Jail assaulted a deputy Wednesday
night when they were trying to move him.
Sean Cottle, 34, kicked the deputy because he was
unhappy with what the jail staff was doing, Lt. Brian
Locke said, so he struggled and kicked the deputy. He
also damaged some jail property.
At the time of the assault Cottle was under disciplinary
action.
Cottle was arraigned Thursday on the new alleged charges
of assault by a prisoner, as well as damage to jail
property.
"It's something that rarely happens, but it does happen.
Prisoners do assault the deputies," Locke said.
Cottle was recently sentenced for similar crimes,
Locke said.
