On July 16th, 2021, at about 6:30 p.m., inmate Dontre Woods (7/25/2002) refused multiple staff orders to return to his cell to lock down. As deputies attempted to gain control of Woods, he punched one deputy in the face causing injury. Deputies continued efforts to gain control of Woods who actively resisted and threatened to continue to assault jail staff. Two Taser deployments were then necessary to safely gain control of Woods, and as handcuffs were being applied, Woods actively fought against jail staff resulting in an additional deputy sustaining an injury to their leg.
