Jail Takeover in Bertie County | Texas News

Inmates took over parts of a North Carolina jail early Monday, seizing two guards and holding them hostage—though one guard escaped. By afternoon, FBI and state investigators secured the facility with no public danger reported. All staff and inmates were accounted for, with medical care provided. Eighty inmates were released alongside the guards, leaving just eight behind. Sheriff Tyrone Ruffin confirmed safety but hasn’t explained why only three guards were on duty—or what triggered the takeover—saying more details will follow as investigations continue.
