Cass County (trfnews.i234.me)—An inmate at the Cass County Jail in Fargo, North Dakota, is facing a felony aggravated assault charge following a violent altercation with his cellmate. According to court documents, Jared Logan Weigel allegedly shoved his cellmate, causing the victim to hit his head on a metal shelf and then the floor. Weigel then reportedly punched the victim at least twice, resulting in a ruptured eardrum. In a recorded call after the incident, Weigel allegedly told his girlfriend, “I got tired of talking to him so I effed him up.”
This incident raises concerns about inmate safety and the prevalence of violence within correctional facilities.
