Monday an inmate at the Montgomery County Department of Corrections assaulted Corrections Officers in an attempt to escape. 40 year old Curtis Lee Harris used force to gain control of a Taser from a Corrections Officer. The Corrections Officer acted quickly deploying pepper spray and radioing for backup. When the first backup Corrections Officer arrived to assist, Harris deployed the Taser striking the second Corrections Officer. Moments later a third Corrections Officer arrived and deployed his Taser striking Harris causing Harris to fall to the floor. After multiple Taser shocks to officers Harris was finally returned to his cell.

He is now facing multiple counts of attempted aggravated escape from custody, Aggravated assault, and criminal threat against a law enforcement officer.
