Joshua Stam, 26, had just been in court in Decatur County, Ohio. He was being transported back to prison by what seems to have been a solo deputy in an uncaged car. Stam managed to slip his cuffs and attacked the deputy, attempting to strangle him and seize his weapon.
A passer-by noticed the incident developing and summoned two near-by officers who dealt with the situation. Stam is now facing charges of attempted murder, aggravated battery, attempted escape and battery resulting in bodily injury to an officer. He had just been sentenced to two years after copping to resisting an officer with a weapon.
I thought only Mayberry still did crap like this. Solo transport of convicted felons and uncaged cars is stupid and dangerous. It should not be happening in this day and age.

This type of unsafe prisoner transport only happens when they want the prisoner to try and escape.
