Guards use rubber pellets to break up inmate fight

Tuesday, July 28, 1998 | 5:11 a.m.

Prison spokesman Glen Whorton said the inmate, who wasn't named, will be brought back to the prison on Wednesday. He said a couple of pellets broke the skin on the convict's head but "there were no serious injuries. This was not life-threatening."

The prisoner will face disciplinary proceedings for the fight, which occurred in a segregation area at NSP. He also may be billed for the emergency helicopter ride and medical treatment.
