Oklahoma detainees who held officer hostage were upset their drug operation was thwarted, jail boss says

Instead of protesting poor conditions inside an Oklahoma jail, detainees who held a corrections officer hostage last week were really upset that recent toilet repairs had thwarted their behind-bars drug operation, the jail's administrator said.

"They're saying it's conditions ... but that's absolutely not true." "He shouldn’t have lost his life behind these conditions up in here and the stress he was under." According to Williams, detainees would flush drugs through the plumbing system to distribute drugs throughout the building -- but the recent repairs put a stop to the process, he said. Meanwhile, the family of a detainee who was shot and killed Saturday – after being seen on video holding an object against the neck of a corrections officer – is calling for action against a city police chief and felony murder charges against the two officers involved in the shooting.
