A suicide at the Lyon County Jail in Yerington on Wednesday, the third at the facility since 2013, has prompted Sheriff Al McNeil to make immediate changes, including round-the-clock personnel at the jail s control tower and an audit of detention policies.
A Silver Springs man was convicted and sentenced to life in prison without parole by a Lyon County jury for the 2015 murder of Alea Clark, said Lyon County District Attorney Stephen B. Rye.
