Jail Tour Ends In Lockup At New Columbus Facility
Deputy Oliver E. Slagle led 23 people on a tour of the new county jail’s third floor. A heavy sliding door jammed after Court Bailiff Harold Headlee shut it, locking the group inside for 58 minutes until Allen Kramer of an architect firm unlocked them with special keys. The incident drew comments from tourists including a 3 year old and raised questions about security at the recently dedicated jail.
