An inmate at an area jail is facing multiple felony charges for allegedly assaulting jailers on Thursday, September 9.
According to a probable-cause statement, while jailers were attempting to detain him in his cell at the Johnson County Jail, they say Larry Arlynn Collins Jr. hit one of the jailers in the forehead with an open palm; and hit, head-butted and bit another jailer causing injury. They also say Collins kicked and head-butted another jailer, which resulted in that jailer losing consciousness and have to be transported to the hospital for treatment.
According to court documents, Collins, of Belton, is charged with two counts of a felony for assault of a special victim in the second degree and assault of a special victim in the third degree. Bond is set at $20,000 cash only.
Collins’ initial hearing is pending at Johnson County Circuit Court.
