An inmate in the Sedgwick County jail is facing more charges after he allegedly used a metal shank while attacking three jail employees.
Sedgwick County Sheriff's Lt. Benjamin Blick said James Brown, 56, faces three counts of attempted first-degree murder after the altercation.
The sheriff's office says three deputies were taking Brown back to his cell Wednesday night when he pulled out a metal shank and began swinging it. Two of the deputies suffered injuries to their hands.
Brown was treated at a hospital before being returned to jail. He was originally jailed after he allegedly struck his girlfriend and her dog with a sword during a fight in March.
