An inmate serving time for murder in California sparked chaos at the West Valley Detention Center in Rancho Cucamonga when he attempted to stab a sheriff's deputy and another inmate with a makeshift knife. The incident occurred around 2:45 p.m., as reported by the San Bernardino County Sheriff's Department.
The inmate, identified as Christopher Lommie Jackson, aged 25 and in custody since 2019, armed himself with a jail-made metal knife and initiated the violent altercation. When deputies intervened, Jackson turned his aggression towards a deputy, causing moderate injuries to the deputy's face. The injured deputy was promptly treated and released from a local hospital.
