A fight at the Thomas County Jail Feb. 15 resulted in 12 inmates being charged.
Through multiple interviews of involved inmates, jail staff, and other witnesses, charges were brought against those identified to be involved. Jail staff quickly secured the other inmates, segregated those fighting, and stopped the fight from continuing.
Medical aid was given to those that required it with one transported to an area hospital with more severe, non-life-threatening injuries.
Detectives from the Thomasville Police Department also assisted agents and sheriff’s investigators with identifying known gang-affiliated inmates.
