CHEYENNE, Wyo. (AP) — Two brothers who are inmates in the same Wyoming jail are facing charges in an altercation with another inmate.
The Laramie County District Attorney's Office charged 28-year-old Victor E. Jackson on Monday with one count of attempted first-degree murder for trying to strangle another inmate. He was in jail awaiting trial on other charges.
Jackson's brother, 29-year-old Duane L. Jackson, is charged with aiding and abetting his brother in the jail incident.
Charging documents accuse Duane Jackson of blocking other inmates from stopping his brother.
Duane Jackson is in the jail awaiting sentencing on a first-degree sexual abuse of a minor conviction.
Victor Jackson's attorney declined comment. Duane Jackson's attorney couldn't immediately be reached for comment Thursday.
