The call that a riot was breaking out on the second floor of the Oklahoma County jail came in at 11:26 p.m. Feb. 7. There s like four people using weapons, an inmate told the central control employee. I m looking on the camera right now, the employee said. I don t see that.
Are you sure, the inmate asked. Yep, the employee replied. But I ll check with the rover, thank you.
A review of surveillance video, however, shows the employee, Martin Jacobs, never picked up his radio to notify anyone, according to an internal investigative report of the altercation on 2B that night.
