A Smiths Grove man awaiting trial in a murder case has been charged in an apparent attack on another Warren County Regional Jail inmate.
Antonio M. Wilson, 41, is charged with first-degree strangulation in the Nov. 28 incident. He was arraigned Monday in Warren District Court, and a hearing was set for Dec. 16 in front of Warren District Judge Sam Potter.
Jail staff members were called about 1 p.m. Sept. 28 to a cell after someone pressed an emergency button there, an arrest citation said. Deputies met with Devon Gault, who claimed Wilson choked him during an altercation.
Online jail records show Gault, 25, was a federal inmate who was booked into jail Nov. 9 and released Wednesday.
