Jail Takeover in Eastern North Carolina | US News

Inmates took control of parts of a North Carolina jail, holding two guards captive while a third escaped — but by afternoon, the situation calmed as 80 inmates were released, leaving just eight inside. The Bureau of Investigation and over 20 agencies responded to secure the facility, with officials still investigating why only three guards were on duty and what triggered the takeover. No motive has been revealed yet, but updates are expected as authorities work to piece together what happened. Support the show:Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
