Officer resigns
during Central Prison investigation
The officer
responded to a disturbance at 3 a.m. Saturday and found Helms
cursing and beating on the door of the hospital ward he occupies
with four other inmates.
Helms had left his bed, gotten into his wheelchair and
wheeled himself to the door before he began banging on the door.
Helms was not
injured in the incident.
"This agency's
job is to protect the public safety and the safety of inmates and
employees in our facilities," said Secretary Alvin Keller. "I will
not tolerate anyone who operates outside of established policies and
procedures and puts that safety at risk."
