On Monday, Timothy J. Reaggle, a 20-year-old from Wellsville, attempted to escape from the Columbiana County Court in Ohio after being sentenced to spend one year in prison for a separate case. Video footage released by the sheriff’s office showed Reaggle breaking free of his handcuffs and punching a deputy before running down hallways and staircases. He attacked two deputies who were escorting him, causing one of them to suffer broken bones. The deputies eventually subdued Reaggle with a Taser. People in the courthouse rushed to assist the injured officers. Sheriff Brian McLaughlin stated that both deputies have since been released from the hospital.
