Wilson Jail Goes Coed For 11 Hours
Wilson County authorities are investigating how a male inmate managed to spend much of Monday locked up with eight female prisoners, none of whom complained.
"We're assuming the motive was sexually related, but nobody is saying anything happened," Chief Deputy Johnie Deagen said Thursday.
The women conspired with Joseph Krist to sneak him in when their cell door was opened remotely by a jail employee to allow entry of a mop and bucket, Deagen said.
Krist was supposed to move the mop from his cell into a vestibule located between his and the women's cell. Unknown to the person controlling the locks, he apparently didn't return to his cell, but stayed in the vestibule, gaining entry into the women's cell when the door was opened.
"We figure he was in there close to 11 hours," Deagen said of Krist, 34, of San Antonio, who is jailed on a bank robbery charge.
Disciplinary action against staff and inmates could occur when Sheriff Joe D. Tackitt Jr. receives and reviews the findings of the investigation.
Despite the internal security lapse Monday, Deagen said Krist had no chance of escaping the facility that on Thursday held 135 men and nine women.
"We don't make many mess-ups here, but it happened," said Deagen.
He said the women all gave investigators notarized statements indicating they only chatted with Krist during the rendezvous that apparently was arranged by "kiting" — tossing notes back and forth from cell to cell.
"Everyone says nothing happened, they only talked," said a doubtful Deagen.
They are having a problem getting the smile off his face.
I hardly call that "going coed". How about "Male inmate sneaks into female inmate side of prison".
Poor guy must have been exausted.
How about "Male inmate sneaks into female inmate".
It was probably a pleasant change from bubba and leroy..
Where do we go with this one??
11 hours locked up with 8 sex starved females.
Beyond comprehension.
When does construction on the maternity ward begin? Contractors need to be notified.
I guess they didn't complain. LOL
