Jail Takeover in Bertie County | Texas News
Inmates took over parts of a North Carolina jail early Monday, seizing two guards and holding them hostage—though one guard escaped. By afternoon, FBI and state investigators secured the facility with no public danger reported. All staff and inmates were accounted for, with medical care provided.
